Abstract:

Low-dose computed tomography screening for lung cancer has led to the increased detection of peripheral pulmonary nodules (PPN). Bronchoscopic modalities of PPN biopsy (ultrathin bronchoscope, radial endobronchial ultrasound, electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy) have not consistently shown diagnostic yields as high as ultrasound- or computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle aspiration or surgical lung biopsy. Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy gained US Food and Drug Administration approval in 2018 and 2019, and preliminary data have shown an improvement in the ability to navigate to PP

The basic principle of bronchoscopy sampling is carried out with a combination of rinsing, brushing, needle aspiration and biopsy.

Introduction: Bronchoscopy is a procedure to visualize the tracheobronchial tree. There are three types of Bronchoscopy, rigid, flexible, and virtual Bronchoscopy. Rigid bronchoscopy visualizes the proximal airways. Flexible bronchoscopy is the most common type of bronchoscopy. It visualizes the trachea, proximal airways, and segmental airways up to the third generation of branching and can be used to sample and treat lesions in those airways. Flexible bronchoscopy is generally performed in a procedure room with conscious sedation. Aims and Objectives: To study the bronchoscopic findings in pa

Abstract:

A foreign body (FB) was detected in the right lower zone on the chest X-ray of a 24-year-old woman who presented to the OPD with a cough and sputum. With the help of virtual bronchoscopy, the FB was localized in the posterior segment of the right lower lobe. It was located with the help of a flexible bronchoscope and fluoroscopy and retrieved with the help of snare and endobronchial biopsy forceps. After ensuring clinical stability, the patient was discharged the next day. Bronchoscopic FB removal from segmental and subsegmental bronchi is difficult. Fluoroscopy permits the bronchoscopic retri

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to examine bronchoscopy findings for children and young adults with long-term tracheostomies due to congenital anomalies and neurological impairment and identify characteristics associated with abnormal bronchoscopic findings. We conducted a retrospective study of 128 bronchoscopy cases (81 children) at a pediatric rehabilitation center. Thirty-eight cases (30%) had normal findings and 14 children (17% of all children) were decannulated following bronchoscopy. Ninety cases (70% of cases) had abnormal findings (e.g. granulomas, airway inflammation, fixed obstruction).

Background: Foreign body aspiration from tracheostomy is very rare, and materials related to tracheostomy are usually aspirated. This condition, which can lead to serious complications, can be treated using bronchoscopic procedures. In this study, we aimed to present our clinical experience in foreign body aspiration via tracheostomy. Methods: Data from 26 patients who presented to our hospital for foreign body aspiration via tracheostomy from 2006 to 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Foreign bodies were removed by fiber optic bronchoscopy in 15 (57.7%) cases, by rigid bronchoscopy

As the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, early detection and diagnosis are crucial to reduce the mortality of lung cancer. To date, the diagnosis of the peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) remains a major unmet clinical need. The urgency of diagnosing PPLs has driven a series of development of the advanced bronchoscopy-guided techniques in the past decades, such as radial probe-endobronchial ultrasonography (RP-EBUS), virtual bronchoscopy navigation (VBN), electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB), bronchoscopic transparenchymal nodule access (BTPNA), and robotic-assisted b

Abstract:

Post-bronchoscopy infections are a critical concern in respiratory medicine, given their potential to exacerbate patient morbidity, particularly among immunocompromised individuals or those with pre-existing lung conditions, one of which is infection. The infection arises from lower respiratory tract pathogens, and most infections originate from reprocessing practices. Infection can occur when the bronchoscope comes into contact with the mucosa and blood vessels of the respiratory tract. Bacteremia is a more often post-bronchoscopy infection complication rather than pneumonia. It is commonly i

Abstract We have established improved methods to access the mouse airways and lungs for pulmonary research. We have applied a non-surgical, bronchoscopic system with a camera to bacterial infection studies and found it reduced mortality and weight change in infected mice compared to our previously used procedure, a tracheostomy involving surgery. The two procedures were compared with and without bacteria to identify the inflammatory responses to the surgery and to the bacteria involved.
