A bronchoscopy-associated pseudo-outbreak of Mycobacterium mucogenicum traced to use of contaminated ice used for bronchoalveolar lavage [PDF]

, 2020
Clonal Mycobacterium mucogenicum isolates (determined by molecular typing) were recovered from 19 bronchoscopic specimens from 15 patients. None of these patients had evidence of mycobacterial infection.

Anesthetic management of a patient of multinodular goiter with retrosternal extension presenting with obstructive sleep apnea for total thyroidectomy

Medical Journal of Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, 2018
Multinodular goiter (MNG), one of the disorders of the thyroid gland, is often detected as a mass in the neck, but sometimes produces pressure symptoms. We present successful anesthetic management of a case of an obese woman having MNG with retrosternal ...

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 ...

Bronchoscope Tip Localization With Learned Airway Constraints and an Open Source Simulator

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
BronchoLoc addresses feature‐poor bronchoscopic imaging by combining monocular video with a preoperative CT graph to estimate 3D camera location. A local tracker identifies candidate branches, while a sequence‐aware global module refines the trajectory. Demonstrating sub‐centimeter accuracy across synthetic and phantom datasets, this framework advances

Comparison of BlockBuster® Laryngeal Mask Airway and Air-Q® Intubating Laryngeal Airway as a conduit for fibreoptic bronchoscopy-guided tracheal intubation in paediatric patients: A randomised comparative study

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia
Background and Aims: The available supraglottic devices (SGDs) used as conduits for fibreoptic bronchoscope-guided intubation (FOI) in children have shown no difference in terms of time taken for tracheal intubation or success rate on the first attempt ...

Bronchoscopic diagnosis of pneumonia [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1994
Lower respiratory tract infections are characterized by significant morbidity and mortality but also by a relative inability to establish a specific etiologic agent on clinical grounds alone. With the recognized shortcomings of expectorated or aspirated secretions toward establishing an etiologic diagnosis, clinicians have increasingly used ...

Engineering an artificial trachea: Quantitative benchmarks and modular strategies for mechanics, epithelialization, and vascular integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
In this work, we first examine the limitations of surgical repair and stenting, including migration, granulation, mucus plugging, and infection. We then translate these failures into engineering constraints involving geometry, mechanics, fixation, degradation, junctional stress, and remodeling.

Comparative Diagnostic Performance of Three Commercial Real‐Time PCR Assays for the Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex in Bronchial Washing Specimens: A Large Retrospective Study

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This large retrospective study compared the diagnostic performance of three commercial real‐time PCR assays (AdvanSure TB/NTM, Cobas MTB, and Xpert MTB/RIF) for MTBC detection in 3348 bronchial washing specimens. In a head‐to‐head comparison of 740 specimens, the Cobas MTB and Xpert MTB/RIF assays showed markedly higher sensitivity than the AdvanSure ...
