Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy and endobronchial tamponade in the management of massive hemoptysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopic examination with systematic bronchial lavage was performed in ten patients with massive hemoptysis. Localization of the bleeding to the distal segments of the bronchial tree and endobronchial balloon tamponade were achieved in all cases. The technique is rapid, simple, and effective in controlling life-threatening hemoptysis in patients who are unsuitable for resection due to inadequate pulmonary reserve or other causes.

Bronchoscopy-guided topical hemostatic tamponade therapy for the management of life-threatening hemoptysis.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Massive hemoptysis is a life-threatening condition. Therapeutic strategies such as interventional angiography, surgery, and/or bronchoscopy have been applied in the clinical setting with variable results. We investigated the efficacy of bronchoscopy-guided topical hemostatic tamponade therapy (THT) using oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) mesh in the management of life-threat...
متن کاملNovel approaches to the patient with massive hemoptysis
Massive hemoptysis is a life-threatening condition with a high mortality when treated conservatively. Several modalities have been described in the treatment of hemoptysis with varying results. Endobronchial therapy has traditionally been performed with rigid bronchoscopy. This requires both specialized training and equipment that is not readily available in many centers. The role of fiberoptic...
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 کاملEndobronchial hamartoma mimicking malignant lung tumor contralateral endobronchial metastasis
RATIONALE Endobronchial hamartoma, the most common benign lung tumor, is located in the bronchus, and it easily mimics lung cancer or bronchial metastasis. Endobronchial hamartoma can cause coughing, hemoptysis, and pulmonary infection; thus, it should be treated right away by surgery or fiberoptic bronchoscopy. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a rare case of endobronchial hamartoma in which the cl...
متن کاملThe first case report of dental floss pick-related injury presenting with massive hemoptysis: A case report
INTRODUCTION A tracheobronchial foreign body is a rarely mentioned cause of massive hemoptysis. Although an aspirated toothpick is a well-known cause of traumatic injury to the respiratory tract, a similar device called a dental floss pick, which is much larger than a toothpick, has never been described as a tracheobronchial foreign body. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of massive hemoptys...
