Unfortunately, a risk of cross-contamination between patients, with possible subsequent infection, is associated with the re-usable technology typically used in these procedures. OBJECTIVE Our objec...
متن کاملInvestigation of the flexibility of bronchoscopes
OBJECTIVE For transbronchial biopsy of peripheral pulmonary lesions manouevering the biopsy instrument into acutely angulated subsegmental ostia is frequently problematic. The aim of the present study was to compare the stiffness of various biopsy instruments with regard to their use in the clinical setting. - METHODS The maximal anterograde and retrograde bending angles, were measured for va...
