Introduction: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is a useful procedure for diagnosis and treatment of respiratory problems, however, children have anatomical and physiological characteristics that make them more susceptible to complications related to the procedure. Objective: Evaluate the factors associated with complications of the fiberoptic bronchoscopy procedure in children and teenagers. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study based on a database of the National Institute of Child Health during the period of June 2018 - 2019. Results: Data from 135 patients were analyzed. 25.9% (n=35) presented complications associated with the procedure. 58.2% of the patients were male, 64.4% were younger than 2 years old, 25.2% between 2 and 5 years old, and 10.4% between 6 and 10 years old. The third part had a congenital heart disease. In the bivariate analysis, complications of the fiberoptic bronchoscopy procedure were associated with the reason for fiberoptic bronchoscopy (p=0.002). Patients with cyanotic heart disease have five times more prevalence of complications associated with fiberoptic bronchoscopy after adjusting for confounding variables (RP: 5.27, 95% CI: 2.29 – 12.13, p<0.05). Patients with microbiological study have two times more prevalence of complications compared to patients who underwent the procedure for other reasons (RP: 2.92, 95% CI: 1.46 – 5.84, p<0.05). Conclusions: Patients with cyanotic heart disease and a microbiological study as a reason for fiberoptic bronchoscopy have a higher prevalence of complications associated with this procedure.
