Air-splinting maneuver during flexible fiber-optic bronchoscopy.
Correspondence TB is appropriate, particularly in high-prevalence countries. The study by Lee et al 2 performed in a high-prevalence Asian region and involving a very high number of untreated contacts demonstrates that the risk of progression is at its highest directly after Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection and that more than one-half of those subjects who progressed to TB did so with...
متن کاملCerebral air embolism following transbronchial lung biopsy during flexible bronchoscopy
During a diagnostic flexible bronchoscopy an 84 year old patient suffered a sudden reduction in conscious level following a transbronchial lung biopsy. A subsequent computed tomography brain scan confirmed cerebral air emboli. The patient survived following a period of supportive treatment in the critical care unit. Transbronchial lung biopsy may cause disruption of vessels walls within the lun...
متن کاملFatal cerebral air embolism following uneventful flexible bronchoscopy.
Flexible bronchoscopy is a widely used and safe procedure with a reported maximal mortality rate of 0.04% and a major-complications rate of 0.5%. There are, however, only few case descriptions for postinterventional cerebral air embolism and the frequency of this supposedly rare complication is unknown. The current study presents 2 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who suffered fatal cer...
متن کاملFlexible bronchoscopy.
Flexible bronchoscopy is an important procedure for evaluating the pediatric airway, allowing a dynamic view from the trachea through the lower bronchi. The flexible bronchoscope offers greater maneuverability than the rigid bronchoscope and may be done in conjunction with other procedures, such as bronchoalveolar lavage, transbronchial biopsy, endobronchial ultrasound, electrocautery or laser ...
متن کاملNear-Minimum Time Optimal Control of Flexible Spacecraft during Slewing Maneuver
The rapid growth of space utilization requires extensive construction, and maintenance of space structures and satellites in orbit. This will, in turn, substantiate application of robotic systems in space. In this paper, a near-minimum-time optimal control law is developed for a rigid space platform with flexible links during an orientating maneuver with large angle of rotation. The time opti...
