Bronchoscopy Findings during Percutaneous Dilation Tracheostomy: A Single Tertiary Medical Center Experience

Diagnostics, 2023
Percutaneous dilation tracheostomy (PDT) is a common procedure in intensive care units. Bronchoscopy has been recommended to guide PDT to decrease complication rates, but no study has analyzed bronchoscopy outcomes during PDT. In this retrospective study,

Evaluation of Laryngeal Mask Airway Use in Pediatric Bronchoscopy: A 10-Year Retrospective Study. [PDF]

Pediatr Pulmonol
ABSTRACT Background The effectiveness and safety of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) use in pediatric flexible bronchoscopy remains insufficiently documented, particularly regarding age‐specific outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate LMA compared to mask ventilation during pediatric flexible bronchoscopy, focusing on oxygenation parameters and complications

Carcinomas and Carcinoid Tumors of the Lungs and Bronchi in Children and Adolescents: The EXPeRT Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Primary lung carcinomas and bronchial carcinoid tumors (BC) are very rare malignancies in childhood. While typical BC and mucoepidermoid carcinomas are mostly low‐grade, localized tumors with a more favorable prognosis than in adults, necessitating avoidance of overtreatment, adenocarcinomas of the lung are often diagnosed at advanced disease ...
