Evaluation of oxygen requirement in patients during fiberoptic bronchoscopy
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Sometimes oxygen is given to patients during fiberoptic bronchoscopy to prevent arterial hypoxemia, but oxygen usually is given to patients with SPO2 less than 90%. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the patient's oxygen requirement according to SPO2 and its relationship with Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). Methods: From January 2006 to April 2007, 146 patients who needed fiberoptic bronchoscopy were evaluated at Beheshti Hospital in Babol, Iran. Spirometery was performed before bronchoscopy and the patients were divided into three groups: FEV1> 2, between 1-2 and FEV1<1liter, respectively. Oxygen was given to every patient with SPO2 less than 90% which lasted more than 20 seconds during bronchoscopy.Results: Eight (5.5%) out of 146patients needed oxygen, 33.3% had FEV1<1lit (p<0.06) and 26.7% had obstructive PFT pattern (p<0.004). The mean age of patients who needed oxygen was 66.7±12.5 years old and those without O2 requirement was 51.9±17.7 years old.Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it is recommended to give oxygen during fiberoptic bronchoscopy for the old patients and patients with FEV1<1lit and obstructive PFT.

full textOxygen desaturation during fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
A prospective study was performed to detect oxygen saturation (SaO2) during and following fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in 50 patients. Twenty-five patients (group 1) underwent the procedure without and 25 (group 2) with supplemental oxygen. The SaO2 declined from the baseline value of 96.4% to 92.08% in group 1 and to 94.88% in group 2 after bronchoscopy alone. The decline was also noted when ...
full textTranscutaneous oxygen monitoring during fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
A transcutaneous oxygen sensor was used to detect the development of hypoxemia in patients undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Measurements of transcutaneous PO2 (tcPO2) correlated well with arterial PO2 (PaO2), and correctly detected all instances when PaO2 was less than 65 mm Hg. The sensor was noninvasive and caused no adverse effects.

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the factors that can affect the comfort of patients who underwent diagnostic fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) and diagnostic endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) for the first time and the effect of the patients' anxiety level on their comfort during the procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS We recorded the demographics of the patients, the medications they used prev...
