Missed distal tracheal foreign body in consecutive bronchoscopies in a 6-year-old boy
Nigerian Journal of Surgery, 2017 It is unusual but not uncommon for foreign bodies to be missed at bronchoscopy. This case report highlights the importance of the clinical history in the diagnosis of aspirated foreign bodies and the usefulness of chest imaging modalities.

Sedation for flexible bronchoscopy: current and emerging evidence [PDF]
European Respiratory Review, 2013 Flexible bronchoscopy is commonly performed by respiratory physicians and is the gold standard for directly visualising the airways, allowing for numerous diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

FBG-Based Triaxial Force Sensor Integrated with an Eccentrically Configured Imaging Probe for Endoluminal Optical Biopsy [PDF]
, 2020 Accurate force sensing is important for endoluminal intervention in terms of both safety and lesion targeting. This paper develops an FBG-based force sensor for robotic bronchoscopy by configuring three FBG sensors at the lateral side of a conical substrate.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEAK EXPIRATORY FLOW RATE BEFORE BRONCHOSCOPY AND ARTERIAL OXYGEN DESATURATION DURING BRONCHOSCOPY [PDF]
Acta Medica Iranica, 2008 A significant reduction in arterial blood oxygen saturation during fiberoptic bronchoscopy has been proved but it is not yet known whether all patients need supplemental oxygen during this procedure.

Use of cryoprobe for removal of a large tracheobronchial foreign body during flexible bronchoscopy
Lung India, 2016 Foreign body (FB) inhalation in the tracheobronchial tree is an infrequently encountered event in adults. The diagnosis is suspected in the presence of a clinical history of aspiration and the presence of respiratory symptoms.

NaviAirway: a Bronchiole-sensitive Deep Learning-based Airway Segmentation Pipeline [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Airway segmentation is essential for chest CT image analysis. Different from natural image segmentation, which pursues high pixel-wise accuracy, airway segmentation focuses on topology. The task is challenging not only because of its complex tree-like structure but also the severe pixel imbalance among airway branches of different generations.

Pulmonary Medicine, 2012 Quality of bronchoscopy performed by one single pulmonologist in a scarcely populated subarctic area was compared to the guidelines provided by the British Thoracic Society (BTS). 103 patients underwent bronchoscopy. Diagnostic yield was increased to 76.
