Ventilator auto-triggering in a patient with tuberculous bronchopleural fistula.
We report a case of ventilator auto-triggering resulting from tuberculous bronchopleural fistula being managed with chest tube suction. Early recognition of bronchopleural fistula-related auto-triggering is extremely important. Auto-triggering can lead to serious adverse effects, including severe hyperventilation and inappropriate escalation of sedatives and/or neuromuscular blockers (administe...
متن کاملEfficacy of bronchoscopic closure of a bronchopleural fistula with amplatzer devices: long-term follow-up.
BACKGROUND The development of a bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. We have developed a minimally invasive method of bronchoscopic BPF closure using Amplatzer devices (AD) and Amplatzer vascular plugs (AVP), with excellent short-term results. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present report was to explore the long-term outcome of patients treated by ...

متن کاملLung infiltrate in a male with a bronchopleural fistula.
A 49-yr-old male was admitted to the Pulmonology Unit of Bichat Hospital (Paris, France) in February 2001 due to minor haemoptysis. He had a history of right upper lobe tuberculosis in 1970, complicated with secondary aspergilloma in 1999 and treated with itraconazole between April and October 1999. In November 1999, he presented with right pleural empyema (local samples yielded Pseudomonas aer...
متن کاملUse of a modified endobronchial tube for mechanical ventilation of patients with bronchopleural fistula.
Mechanical ventilation in patients with bronchopleural fistula after lung resection is a major problem, as it causes increase of the air-leak, complicates the healing process and makes residual lung tissue ventilation difficult. We present two cases in which the use of a modified double lumen endobronchial tube improved ventilation and eliminated the fistula air-leak. We used a right-sided doub...
