Fibreoptic bronchoscopy without general anaesthetic.
We have used flexible fibreoptic bronchoscopy using sedation and local anaesthesia in 50 children aged 2-19 years (median 10) using an Olympus BFP20 instrument. Indications were opportunistic pneumonias (n = 11), persistent atelectasis (n = 11), recurrent pneumonia (n = 7), miscellaneous lower airway disease (n = 7), recurrent wheezing (n = 3), haemoptysis (3), to diagnose infection or rejectio...
متن کاملPremedication for fibreoptic bronchoscopy.
A randomised, double-blind trial of atropine, atropine plus papaveretum, and atropine plus diazepam given intramuscularly as premedication for fibreoptic bronchoscopy in 60 patients showed no difference between the three regimens as assessed by bronchoscopist or patient. Bronchoscopists frequently attributed a sedative action to atropine alone and their assessment of tolerance and sedation was ...

Fibreoptic bronchoscopy is a useful diagnostic aid but may result in difficulties when associated with endotracheal anaesthesia. As a result, adequate ventilation may be difficult in patients with impaired pulmonary function and, in particular, in female patients because of the smaller size of the laryngeal opening. In a trial of three methods of endotracheal anaesthesia in a series of 39 patie...
متن کاملCardiovascular consequences of fibreoptic bronchoscopy.
Fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) is now commonly performed, and the number of elderly patients undergoing the procedure is increasing. Problems with oxygenation during FOB are well-recognised, but there are few data about its cardiovascular effects. Forty five patients (median age 65 yrs) undergoing elective FOB were studied prospectively. Patients were connected to a 12-lead computerized electroc...
متن کاملCurrent status of fibreoptic bronchoscopy.
The flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope was first made commercially available in 1970 (Anderson and Faber, 1978) and it has since had a major impact on the diagnosis and management ofpulmonary disease. Within 3 years of its introduction, 25,000 bronchofibrescopic examinations had been performed in the United States in 191 centres (Sackner, 1975). At the Brompton Hospital an average of 855 fibreopt...
