Core Tip	Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) is effective and safe for diagnostic and therapeutic use among critically ill pediatric patients. FFB led to change in management in 28.9% of patients, with a diagnostic yield of 82%. Bronchoalveolar lavage obtained during FFB may assist with identifying infectious organisms (25.7%) and optimizing antimicrobial therapy (19.1%). FFB had therapeutic benefit with removal of mucus plugs or resolution of atelectasis in 60.3%. The majority of reported adverse events were transient and included hypotension, hypoxia and/or bradycardia requiring minimal intervention.
