Therapeutic bronchoscopic interventions for malignant airway obstruction
There is no definitive consensus about the factors affecting the choice of interventional bronchoscopy in the management of malignant airway obstruction. The present study defines the choice of the interventional bronchoscopic modality and analyzes the factors influencing survival in patients with malignant central airway obstruction. Totally, over 7 years, 802 interventional rigid bronchoscopi...

Acute upper airway obstruction (UAO) is common in preschoolers in urban settings. This paper summarizes the role of each health care professional involved in the management of UAO, and dwells particularly on the anesthetist's contribution to the team.
متن کاملBronchoscopic diagnostic procedures and microbiological examinations in proving endobronchial tuberculosis.
OBJECTIVE To determine the proportional distribution of endobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB) subtypes and to evaluate the types of bronchoscopic diagnostic procedures that can prove granulomatous inflammation. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 18 HIV-negative patients with biopsy-proven EBTB treated between 2010 and 2014. RESULTS The most common EBTB subtypes, as classified by the bron...
متن کاملEfficacy and safety of bronchoscopic cryotherapy for granular endobronchial tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND The most important sequela of endobronchial tuberculosis (EBTB) is bronchial stenosis, which causes wheezing, dyspnea and obstructive pneumonia. But there have been no reports about applying cryotherapy for granular EBTB that did not show luminal narrowing of the bronchus at diagnosis. Whether this technique is useful for preventing granular EBTB from progressing into stenosis needs ...
متن کاملBronchoscopic Cryoextraction: A Novel Approach for the Removal of Massive Endobronchial Blood Clots Causing Acute Airway Obstruction
Acute airway obstruction due to large blood clots is known to cause life threatening hypoxemic respiratory failure which can be challenging to diagnose and manage. Different bronchoscopic modalities like rigid bronchoscopy, forceps, snares and catheters can be used to extract these obstructing blood clots but each of these different methods have their own limitations. We describe a patient with...
