Abstract
Endoscopic techniques, flexible, rigid bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy are central tools in the evaluation and treatment of respiratory disorders and their use has been steadily growing. (1)
Diagnostically, rigid and fiberoptic bronchoscopy are used for sampling of respiratory secretions and cells via bronchial washings, brushings, lavage of peripheral airways and alveoli, and to obtain biopsies of endobronchial, parenchymal, and mediastinal structures whereas therapeutically they are used for suctioning of retained secretions, endobronchial stent placement, balloon dilation of airway stenosis, and other interventional procedures.

The healthcare managers that endeavor to achieve excellence consider patient perception when designing strategies for quality improvement of care. Recently, the healthcare regulators shifted towards a market -driven approach of turning patient satisfaction surveys into a quality improvement tool for overall organizational performance. (65)

In recent years, several individual health care organizations have attempted to measure patient experience using variety of quantitative and qualitative approaches. Such approaches include ward/department or unit-level surveys, interviews, focus groups, patient forums, and informal feedback through patient advocacy groups or patient service organizations. Other approaches to capture patient experience include formal complaints, commentary on websites, and
