Effectiveness of Reprocessing for Flexible Bronchoscopes and Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopes

Chest, 2018
BACKGROUND: Infections 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 ...

Bronchoscopic Cryotherapy

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1981
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.
