abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To understand the diagnostic and therapeutic value of fiberbronchoscope for the adult in the children with respiratory diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  The results of diagnostic and therapeutic use in 107 child cases using fiberbronchoscope for adult were analysed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Pathogenic diagnosis was acquired in 107 cases; 17(17/21) cases of bronchial foreign bodies were extracted; 22 cases underwent bronchoalveolar lavage locally.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Various type of BF of fiberbronchoscope for adult can be used in children at various ages, and to diagnose the child's diseases.
