Flexible bronchoscopy has been safely used for decades in ambulatory and critical care settings to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of tracheobronchial tree disorders. Although emergency physicians ...
The primary goal of this study was to describe the indications, outcomes and complications of flexible bronchoscopy performed by emergency physicians in an urban academic emergency department....
This was a single-center retrospective cohort study involving chart and video review of 146 patients over a 10.5-year study period. Patients of any age were included if they had been tracheally intuba...
146 patients were included in the study and all bronchoscopies were performed or supervised by attending emergency physicians. After bronchoscopy, 24% of patients displayed improvement in oxygenation ...
At our institution, emergency physicians can safely and effectively use flexible bronchoscopy to diagnose and treat critically ill patients....
Historically the sampling of peripheral lung lesions via bronchoscopy has suffered from inferior diagnostic outcomes relative to transthoracic needle aspiration, and neither a successful bronchoscopic...
Recent advances in intraprocedural imaging, including the integration of cone beam CT, digital tomosynthesis, and augmented fluoroscopy into bronchoscopic procedures have yielded promising results. Th...
The incorporation of advanced imaging is an essential step in the improvement of peripheral bronchoscopic procedures....
Bronchoscopy is an aerosol-generating procedure and can place the health care providers at risk for exposure to viral pathogens. The pattern of aerosol generation during different aspects of bronchosc...
The aerosol concentration in the endoscopy room at baseline and while the procedures were performed was measured. Procedures included flexible bronchoscopies with moderate sedation, flexible bronchosc...
Measurements obtained during the procedure were compared with the baseline reading. For flexible bronchoscopy under moderate sedation, the inhalable aerosol fraction was significantly higher (P=0.036)...
Elevated levels of aerosol were generated during all aspects of bronchoscopy. However, atomization of lidocaine, intubation, extubation, and recovery generated the most aerosol....
The development of single-use flexible or disposable bronchoscopes (SUFBs) has accelerated in recent years, with the reduced risk of infectious transmission and reduced need for endoscopy staffing par...
The objective of this study was to assess the performance of a novel single-use bronchoscope in an academic quaternary referral centre with on-site interventional pulmonology programme....
With ethical approval in a quaternary referral centre, we prospectively collected data on sequential bronchoscopy procedures using The Surgical Company Broncoflex© range of SUFBs. Data collected inclu...
139 procedures were performed by five pulmonology faculty from January to July 2021. The majority were carried out for infection (45%) and malignancy (32%). Most were performed in the endoscopy suite ...
In our subset of patients in a bronchoscopy unit, SUFBs are safe, and both routine and advanced bronchoscopy procedures can be performed with high satisfaction reported....
The diagnostic yield of thin bronchoscopy with radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS) of peripheral pulmonary lesions into which the rEBUS probe cannot be inserted is unsatisfactory. In such ca...
In this multicentre prospective study, patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions ≤30 mm in diameter underwent rEBUS-guided transbronchial biopsy using a 4.0 mm diameter thin bronchoscope. In patients...
A total of 342 patients were enrolled and 340 were analysed. Among them, 87 patients with lesions of a median longest diameter of 17.5 mm underwent thin bronchoscopy followed by ultrathin bronchoscopy...
Ultrathin bronchoscopy affords a higher diagnostic yield for lesions into which a rEBUS probe cannot be inserted via a thin bronchoscope....
