Bronchoscopy-guided topical hemostatic tamponade therapy for the management of life-threatening hemoptysis.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Massive hemoptysis is a life-threatening condition. Therapeutic strategies such as interventional angiography, surgery, and/or bronchoscopy have been applied in the clinical setting with variable results. We investigated the efficacy of bronchoscopy-guided topical hemostatic tamponade therapy (THT) using oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) mesh in the management of life-threat...

The initial assessment aims to locate the origin and cause of bleeding. The technological advance of the development of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has changed the management of patients with life-threatening hemoptysis. MDCT angiography ma...
متن کاملUtility of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in patients with hemoptysis and a nonlocalizing chest roentgenogram.
The need for fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the patient with hemoptysis and a normal or nonlocalizing chest roentgenogram remains a subject of debate. Currently, diagnostic fiberoptic bronchoscopy is recommended as the investigative procedure of choice. To develop predictors that identify the patient in whom fiberoptic bronchoscopy is most likely to be diagnostic, we reviewed our community's experi...
متن کاملFlexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy and endobronchial tamponade in the management of massive hemoptysis.
Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination with systematic bronchial lavage was performed in ten patients with massive hemoptysis. Localization of the bleeding to the distal segments of the bronchial tree and endobronchial balloon tamponade were achieved in all cases. The technique is rapid, simple, and effective in controlling life-threatening hemoptysis in patients who are unsuitable for r...
