Two infants with the Jarcho-Levin syndrome of vertebral anomalies underwent flexible fibre optic bronchoscopy. Central airway abnormalities not amenable to surgical correction were found in both patients. These abnormalities may contribute significantly to the respiratory failure seen in affected infants, and should be considered when evaluating continuing medical support.

Background: Radiologically detected lung lesions are very common in regular clinical practice. It is important to diagnose radiologically early. Flexible fiber-optic bronchoscopy an excellent minimally invasive and safe investigation for early diagnosis of diseases. Methods: Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire from the patients who had lesion on chest x-ray that not periph...

Background: Flexible optical fiber bronchoscopy (FFB) is a visual airway tract examination for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. This procedure often causes discomfort patients, such as cough, breathlessness pain. Lidocaine topical anesthetic premedication used in bronchoscopy. study compared the use of lidocaine nebulization spray inhibiting pain, cough complexity flexible optic bronchoscop...

Non-resolving pneumonia are not so infrequent with a clinical scenario where multiple diagnostic modalities required to arrive at diagnosis. We aimed assess the role of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in early diagnosis non-resolving pneumonia. This is prospective observational study done department pulmonary medicine from January 2020 December 2020. 90 cases attending medicine, AMC were selected after...

Foreign body aspiration is a potentially life-threatening event especially in those who are younger than 5 years old. Aspiration could be presented as a spectrum, ranging from absolutely asymptomatic event to more sever events including choking, respiratory distress and cyanosis or even death. Although foreign bodies in lung may not be visualized on X-ray, X-ray radiography is considered as a f...

The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of 3-D virtual bronchoscopy (VB) with that of Fiber-optic (FB) bronchoscopy in patients who had symptoms of respiratory disorders. Thirty patients underwent VB examination. Thin section helical computerized tomography (CT) image were obtained. The volumetric data was downloaded to a workstation equipped with software for surface shade...
