Flexible 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 کاملLidocaine concentrations in endobronchial aspirates during flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
It is with interest that we read Dr. Goldberg’s letter. Although finding a pseudoaneurysm is common, the development of hemoptysis secondary to fistula formation is very rare. The observation that CT scan can be used to identify a patient with ventriculobronchial fistula is very important since many patients now undergo ventricular aneurysm repair and may be at risk for this rare complication.
متن کاملMeasurement of combined oximetry and cutaneous capnography during flexible bronchoscopy.
The aim of the present study was to assess the feasibility of measuring combined arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (Sp,O2) and cutaneous carbon dioxide tension (Pc,CO2) to monitor ventilation and quantify change in Pc,CO2 during bronchoscopy. Combined Sp,O2 and Pc,CO2 were measured at the ear lobe in 114 patients. In four patients, the ear-clip slipped and they were excluded...
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 کاملAir-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...
