Airway foreign body retrieval in a tracheostomy-dependent patient with severe laryngeal stenosis

open access: yesOtolaryngology Case Reports, 2022
Objective: When an airway foreign body (FB) cannot be retrieved through the glottis via direct laryngoscopy, it poses a special clinical challenge. We herein describe retrieval of an aspirated FB in a tracheostomy-dependent patient with severe laryngeal ...

Diagnostic Role of Bronchoscopic Brush Biopsy Guided by Thin-Section Computed Tomography in Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions

open access: yesAdvances in Precision Medicine, 2022
Objective: The diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) is important as they may be malignant. It is difficult to diagnose PPLs in the absence of a diagnostic guiding tool. Computed tomography (CT) thin-section multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) images have been used as an alternative guide for bronchoscopic diagnosis of PPL.

The role of the fibreoptic bronchoscope in otorhinolaryngological practice [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
Flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope has been employed in the examination of the nasopharynx, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus and intrathoracic oesophagus under local anaesthesia. It is used either for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

Value of ultrathin bronchoscope in improving the endobronchial ultrasound localization rate and diagnosing peripheral pulmonary nodules by cryobiopsy

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background A 3.0-mm ultrathin bronchoscope (UTB) with a 1.7-mm working channel provides better accessibility to peripheral bronchi. A 4.0-mm thin bronchoscope with a larger 2.0-mm working channel facilitates the use of a guide sheath (GS), ensuring ...

Randomized Study of Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Biopsy: Thin Bronchoscopic Method versus Guide Sheath Method [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Thoracic Oncology, 2011
In endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial biopsy (EBUS-TBB), techniques using a thin bronchoscope or a guide sheath have been proposed for accurate biopsy instrument reinsertion into the bronchial route indicated by a radial ultrasonic probe.

Tunnel Vision: A Novel Approach for Blood Clot Retrieval Using Cryotherapy through a Flexible Bronchoscope

open access: yes, 2023
Cryoprobes inserted through a bronchoscope in the airways have frequently been used for the removal of foreign bodies and clots. We present a case of a 72-year-old man who presented with COVID-19 pneumonia and respiratory failure, requiring intubation ...
