Bronchoscopic features and bronchoscopic intervention for endobronchial hamartoma
Respirology, 2009ABSTRACTBackground and objective: Bronchoscopic resection of endobronchial hamartomas has been reported to have a favourable outcome. This study describes the bronchoscopic features of endobronchial hamartoma and reports the clinical outcome of bronchoscopic intervention.Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients with histologically ...

Bronchoscopic cryotherapy of localized endobronchial tumors can be applied in selected patients who are not candidates for other traditional therapy. Twenty-eight patients were treated on 60 occasions with a closed liquid nitrogen system and a long insulated probe that was specifically designed to be used through an open ventilating bronchoscope.

Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians, 1977
The fibertopic bronchoscope was used in 14 cases in the emergency department between September 1974 and September 1976 at Lock Haven Hospital, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania and St. Charles Hospital, Toledo, Ohio. It was used successfully to remove foreign bodies from the trachea and esophagus; in difficult or hazardous endotracheal intubation; intubation in

To the Editor.— When performing bronchoscopy with the patient under a general anesthetic, one source of annoyance is the fluctuating escape of gusts of anesthetic gases along the sides of the bronchoscope tube. Although this is mainly a problem for the anesthetist, the endoscopist also has to cope with it and is discomforted by it, especially if the ...

The Laryngoscope, 1989
AbstractIncreasing lung cancer mortality has created renewed interest in the bronchoscopic use of isotopes for palliation of recurrent airway carcinomas. In the first part of this paper we report our clinical experience with iodine‐125 implantation for treatment of endobronchial carcinomas in 18 patients followed until death.

Effectiveness of Reprocessing for Flexible Bronchoscopes and Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopes
Chest, 2018Infections have been linked to inadequately reprocessed flexible bronchoscopes, and recent investigations determined that pathogen transmission occurred even when bronchoscope cleaning and disinfection practices aligned with current guidelines. This multisite, prospective study evaluated the effectiveness of real-world bronchoscope reprocessing methods,

Frontiers in bronchoscopic imaging [PDF]
Respirology, 2012 ABSTRACTBronchoscopy is a minimally invasive method for diagnosis of diseases of the airways and the lung parenchyma. Standard bronchoscopy uses the reflectance/scattering properties of white light from tissue to examine the macroscopic appearance of airways. It does not exploit the full spectrum of the optical properties of bronchial tissues. Advances

What made me think to design a new surgical instrument for taking biopsy specimens from the intrabronchial growths is the high percentage of negative results in specimens taken by the ordinary biopsy forceps, especially in cases where there is a growth in either upper lobe bronchus.

Care of Flexible Bronchoscopes
Chest, 2004in 2000 primary INH resistance in immigrants was reported to be 9.4%. In a survey of patients referred to the General Hospital of Verona from January 2000 to June 2003, among 231 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, 28 of 41 of strains (68.3%) resistant to at least one antituberculosis drug were from immigrants (23.9% of cases in this category of ...

Virtual Bronchoscopic Navigation
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2010Virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) is a method for the guidance of a bronchoscope to peripheral lesions using virtual bronchoscopy (VB) images of the bronchial path. Irrespective of the bronchoscopist's skill level, the bronchoscope can be readily guided to the target in a short time.
