Comparison of endotracheal aspirate and non-bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage in the diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia in a pediatric intensive care unit.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is defined as pneumonia occuring in any period of mechanical ventilation. There is no optimal diagnostic method in current use and in this study we aimed to compare two non-invasive diagnostic methods used in diagnosis of VAP in children. This prospective study was conducted in 8 bedded Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Ege University Children´s Hospital. En...
متن کاملAspiration Pneumonia Resulting from a Peanut
A 65-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital after aspirating a peanut. Bronchoscopic examination revealed obstruction of the right basal bronchus. Use of clamps achieved incomplete removal. Hemoptysis appeared after a few days. Computed tomography(CT) of the lung revealed consolidation in the right lower segment. Methylprednisolone and antibiotics improved symptoms,but chest CT revealed pe...
متن کاملMeasuring (1,3)-β-D-glucan in tracheal aspirate, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and serum for detection of suspected Candida pneumonia in immunocompromised and critically ill patients: a prospective observational study
BACKGROUND While Candida pneumonia is life-threatening, biomarker measurements to early detect suspected Candida pneumonia are lacking. This study compared the diagnostic values of measuring levels of (1, 3)-β-D-glucan in endotracheal aspirate, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and serum to detect suspected Candida pneumonia in immunocompromised and critically ill patients. METHODS This prospecti...
متن کاملDiagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia: focus on nonbronchoscopic techniques (nonbronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage, including mini-BAL, blinded protected specimen brush, and blinded bronchial sampling) and endotracheal aspirates.
The ideal diagnostic approach for ventilator-associated pneumonia currently is based on invasive procedures to obtain respiratory tract cultures. Given the lack of consensus and relatively poor acceptance of full bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and protected specimen brush (PSB), less invasive procedures have been developed. We review the nonbronchoscopic procedures (nonbronchoscopic...
متن کاملExercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage by K.W. Hinchcliff; P2663.1205
Exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) is ubiquitous among Thoroughbred racehorses throughout the world, and there is no apparent important geographic variation in incidence of the condition. Although EIPH is very common, the exact incidence of the condition varies depending on the method of diagnosis and the frequency of examination. Examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) or t...
