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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Use of the Ion Robot in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Nodules: Fine Needle Aspiration Versus Cryobiopsy

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Robotic‐assisted bronchoscopy platforms provide an innovative approach to the sampling of pulmonary nodules. As compared to other technologies, fiber‐optic shape‐sensing instrumentation allows for a more precise, accurate location and sampling of the target lesion with fewer complications.

Bronchial Mucosal Abnormalities in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a challenging variant of airway stenosis associated with consistent distal airway abnormalities on bronchoscopy, including pits, depressions, and striations. Despite these findings, most patients demonstrate normal or mild–moderate obstruction on spirometry.

How I Do It: A Novel Case Series of Office‐Based Laser Complete Excision of Vocal Fold Cysts

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Office‐based complete excision of vocal fold cysts using Trublue laser via transnasal flexible endoscopy is a technically feasible alternative to conventional marsupialization, enabling en bloc removal under local anesthesia with excellent procedural tolerability.

Diagnostic value of the percentage of glottic opening score for classifying videolaryngoscopy in children: a prospective validation study

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction The percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score quantifies the laryngeal view obtained during laryngoscopy. This secondary analysis of the prospective observational PeDiAC study aimed to compare the POGO score with subjective glottic view ratings on a visual analogue scale (VAS) for classifying difficult videolaryngoscopic tracheal ...

A multi‐centre retrospective review of the bronchoscopic management of upper tracheal stenosis: An Australian perspective

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Upper tracheal stenosis (UTS) is a rare process with multiple causes and variable approaches to treatment. Australian data on management patterns are lacking and patient resources reflecting local practices are scarce. Aims To describe the management strategies of UTS over 12 years among three teaching hospitals in New South Wales ...
