Bronchoscopic treatments for emphysema
Revue des Maladies Respiratoires, 2011In late stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema can worsen respiratory symptoms, not only via the loss of surface for gas exchange, but also via alterations in mechanical properties of the respiratory system (dynamic and static hyperinflation). Emphysematous lung volume reduction aims at improving respiratory mechanics and symptomatology

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.

Reprocessing the Bronchoscope: The Challenges
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2004Spread of infection through the flexible bronchoscope is underrecognized and underreported. Prevention of bronchoscopy-induced infection requires increased vigilance by the physician, assiduous implementation of reprocessing protocols, and closer collaboration between bronchoscopy personnel, infection control practitioners, and instrument manufacturers.

Frontiers in bronchoscopic imaging
Respirology, 2012ABSTRACTBronchoscopy 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

IMPROVED BRONCHOSCOPIC GLASSES
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1949A DESCRIPTION of these glasses first appeared in the Archives in August 1933. 1 An additional feature has since been added, which is of great value to the bronchoscopist. The glasses consist of an ordinary frame into which lenses may be fitted. A hole is drilled through the bridge between the lens and the ear piece on each side and a bolt is inserted ...

Catheter Guide for Bronchoscope
New England Journal of Medicine, 1961EXPOSURE of the larynx and the passage of the tip of the instrument between the vocal cords is usually the most difficult of the entire bronchoscopic procedure. This is particularly true when the intubation is done under topical anesthesia, a method that has certain practical advantages.

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1956
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.

Advances in Bronchoscopic Procedures
Chest, 1999Bronchoscopy is currently the most commonly employed invasive procedure in the practice of pulmonary medicine. Both the rigid and flexible bronchoscopes are used to diagnose and treat various pulmonary disorders. The main diagnostic indications include pulmonary involvement by neoplasms, infections, diffuse lung diseases, and airway problems ...

Bronchoscopic Visualization of the Alveoli
Journal of Bronchology & Interventional Pulmonology, 2014We report a rare case in which we were able to visualize the lung alveoli through the bronchial wall by a bronchoscope in a patient with marked bronchiectasis and performed lung biopsy safely under direct vision. An 80-year-old woman presented with complaints of a severe persistent cough for the past 6 months.
