[Rigid bronchoscope combined with soft electronic bronchoscope for treatment of main airway neoplasma.].
BACKGROUND Main airway severe obstruction is a problem facing difficulty flexible bronchoscope because the patient is not able to breath smoothly under prostration, and death from suffocation is a frequent outcome. Managing the airway of patients with critical tracheal stenosis remains a formidable challenge to bronchoscopists. This study is to evaluate the application and efficacy of argon pla...
متن کاملComparing Adrenaline with Tranexamic Acid to Control Acute Endobronchial Bleeding: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Hemoptysis occurs due to either pulmonary diseases or bronchoscopy interventions. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of the endobronchial instillation of adrenaline with that of tranexamic acid. Methods: Fifty patients were randomly selected as 2 double-blinded sample groups (n=25). In these patients, bleeding could not be controlled with cold saline lavage dur...
متن کاملTracheal shift causing difficulty in air entry confirmation after tracheal intubation.
A 40-YR-OLD man presented for excision of recurrent pituitary adenoma. Medical history included pulmonary tuberculosis. On chest auscultation, diminished air entry in the left axillary and supra-/infraclavicular areas were observed. Chest radiogram demonstrated evidence of collapse and/or fibrosis of most of the left lung and significant ipsilateral tracheal and mediastinal shift (fig. A). Afte...
متن کاملAn update on advances in interventional bronchoscopy
Because of recent advances, more patients may potentially benefit from a variety of interventional bronchoscopic techniques. Nd:YAG laser phototherapy is the most widely used modality and is the treatment of choice for patients with endobronchial malignancies who have large-central airway obstruction. Cryotherapy may be superior to Nd:YAG phototherapy for more distal airways lesions because of ...
متن کاملEndobronchial ultrasonography with guide-sheath for peripheral pulmonary lesions.
The usefulness of endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) with guide-sheath (GS) as a guide for transbronchial biopsy (TBB) for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL)s and for improving diagnostic accuracy was evaluated in this study. EBUS-GS-guided TBB was performed in 24 patients with 24 PPLs of < or =30 mm in diameter (average diameter=18.4 mm). A 20-MHz radial-type ultrasound probe, cov...
