Bronchoscope: Beyond the Thorax! [PDF]

Respiration, 2015
adrenal glands using the convex curvilinear EBUS scope. In this retrospective case series, the EBUS scope was systematically used by the same operator in the same procedure for both mediastinal and extrathoracic staging in 6 consecutive patients with suspected (or known) cancers and enlarged left adrenal glands based on CT scans, showing favorable ...

Airway consideration in cleft patients-challenges and approaches

Journal of Cleft Lip Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies, 2022
Over the last few decades, there is a paramount shift in the implementation of pediatric anesthesia. Although for most of the time, difficult airway scenarios are well-planned and executed, occasionally an unanticipated difficult situation may still ...

Comparison of tracheal intubation using videolaryngoscopy versus videolaryngoscope-assisted flexible tracheoscopy in patients with simulated manual in-line stabilisation – A randomised controlled trial

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia
Background and Aims: Airway management in cervical spine injury is challenging, and combining videolaryngoscopy with a flexible tracheoscope could enhance glottic visualisation, addressing the limitations when used alone.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...

Plastic bronchitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae

Respirology Case Reports, 2023
Key message Plastic bronchitis is characterized by sputum obstructing the bronchus and causing atelectasis. Bronchoscopic removal of the clogged bronchial cast is typically performed, but small‐diameter bronchoscopes with narrow suction ports cannot ...

Bronchoscopy Robot with Enhanced Flexibility and Stability via Multi‐Segment Variable Stiffness Catheter

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a magnetic bronchoscopy robot with a novel multi‐segment variable stiffness catheter. This catheter can not only move flexibly in the narrow bronchi but also harden according to the need to provide support. Combined with remote wireless magnetic field drive, it provides a more precise and effective solution for biopsy of deep lung ...

Bronchoscopic diagnosis of sarcoidosis [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 1997
Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB), transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) of mediastinal lymph nodes and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) are routinely performed at fibreoptic bronchoscopy. Up to the present time, no data have been available on the efficacy of performing all three of these procedures simultaneously in the bronchoscopic work-up of ...
