Objective To investigate the diagnostic value and complications of fibrobronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage in immunocompromised patients with pulmonary infiltrates. Methods Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed in 31 immunocompromised patients. The clinical data and results of bronchoalveolar lavage were collected. In addition to conventional microbiological methods, molecular detection for cytomegalovirus( CMV) and respiratory viruses were performed. Results In all cases BAL was performed. The overall diagnostic yield of fibrobronchoscopy was 65% . The diagnosis was more likely to be established by fibrobronchoscopy when the lung infiltrate was due to an infectious agent( 86%) than to a noninfectious process( 25% ) . By molecular detection, CMV was identified in 4 cases, and other respiratory viruses were identified in 3 cases. Fever ( 23% ) was the most common complication. Conclusions Fibrobronchoscopy and BAL are effective and safe for the diagnosis of pulmonary infiltrates in immunocompromised patients. The molecular technique may help to enhance the diagnostic yield of BAL.
Objective To evaluate the safety and diagnostic yield of transbronchial lung biopsy ( TBLB) performed in mechanically ventilated patients. Methods TBLB was performed in 19 mechanically ventilated patients form January 2001 to September 2007 in the ICU of Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases. The results of clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 19 patients were analyzed[ 9 female, 10 male, with amean age of ( 57. 94 ±15. 00) years] . Specific diagnoses were made in 9 cases ( 47. 4% ) by TBLB. The diseases included pulmonary aspergillus pneumonia in 4 cases ( 21. 0% ) ,lung cancer in 2 cases ( 10. 5% ) , radioactive pneumonia in 1 case( 5. 3% ) , Goodpasture’s syndrome in1case( 5. 3% ) , pulmonary tuberculosis in 1 case ( 5. 3% ) . Ten cases ( 52. 6% ) were not able to establish confirmed diagnoses including pulmonary interstitial fibrosis in 6 cases( 31. 6% ) and lung tissue nonspecific changes in 4 cases( 21. 0% ) . The treatment was adjusted according to the results of TBLB in 10 patients( 52. 6% ) . Complications associated with this procedure included episodes of bronchial hemorrhage of ≥30 mL in 4 cases ( 21. 0% ) , transient oxygen desaturation in 11 cases ( 57. 9% ) , hypotension in 5 cases ( 26. 3% ) , and transient tachycardia in 1 case ( 5. 3% ) without death and pneumothorax. Conclusions TBLB can be performed safely and has a diagnostic value in mechanically ventilated patients. TBLB should be considered as a diagnostic procedure before open lung biopsy.
Objective To study the application of virtual reality bronchoscopy stimulation in novice trainees. Methods Four novice bronchoscopists entered the training programby using a VR bronchoscopy in the clinical skill center. After the program, the dexterity, speed, and accuracy of all the four doctors were tested using the virtual simulation models. Results were compared to four skilled physicians as control group who had performed at least 50 bronchoscopies. Before-training and after-training test scores were compared using paired t tests. For comparisons between after-training novice and skilled physician scores, unpaired twosample t tests were used. Results All of the four trainees finished the training program. The novices significantly improved their dexterity, speed and accuracy. The percentage of observed segments increased from ( 74. 0 ±5. 1) % to ( 89. 3 ±4. 0) % . The number of contacts with the bronchial wall decreased from 87. 5 ±13. 2 to 30. 5 ±9. 3, and total time spent shortened from ( 700. 8 ±56. 6) s to ( 607. 0 ±17. 8) s. There were no statistically significant differences between novice accuracy ( the percentage of observed segments) after training and skilled physician accuracy [ ( 89. 3 ±4. 0) % vs ( 91. 3 ±3. 0) % , P = 0. 456] . Conclusion Practice using a virtual bronchoscopy simulator help novice trainees to attain a level of skill at performing diagnostic bronchoscopy, and it might play an important role in the training of chest physicians.
Objective To investigate the manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica ( TO) . Methods Two cases of TO were described and 76 cases in the medical literature after 2000 were reviewed. Results TO usually manifests in adults, and affects both genders. The clinical presentation of TO is nonspecific. Bronchoscopy remains the gold standard for diagnosing this condition. Hard sessile nodules arising from the anterior and lateral walls of the airway,typically sparing the posterior membrane, are classic appearance that can be easily recognized. The CT scan is more sensitive and specific, which plays an important role in the diagnosis of TO. Bronchial biopsies disclose the abnormal presence of cartilage and bone tissue in the bronchial submucosa. To date there is nospecific treatment for the disease. Only a minority of cases develop into significant upper airway obstruction and require invasive procedures to remove or bypass the obstacle on affected airways. Conclusions TO is a stable or slowly progressive benign disease. Chest computed tomography and fiberoptic bronchoscopy are thebest diagnostic procedures to identify TO.
Obstractive To observe the clinical effects and safety of endobronchial electrocautery treatment for tracheobronchial obstructive lesions in inoperable tracheobronchial squamous cell carcinoma.Methods Ninety-five patients with advanced and inoperable tracheobronchial squamous cell carcinoma were included. Thirty-four patients with central airway obstruction were treated with endobronchial electrocautery plus chemotherapy ( group A) and 61 patients without central airway obstruction were treated with chemotherapy alone ( group B) . The chemotherapy consisted of cisplatin or carboplatin, plus another thirdgeneration chemotherapy agent. Results In groug A, there were mean improvements in FEV1 of 41. 1% and in peak expiratory flow( PEF) of 65. 6% . There was no significant difference in the survival rates of the patients with and without central airway obstruction. Median survival time of group A was 11. 3 months and those of group B was 11. 6 months. 3, 6, and 12-month survival rates in group A were 87% , 68% and 39% respectively, and those in group B were 93% , 76% , and 45% respectively. Conclusion Endobronchial electrocautery is an effective and safe approach for inoperable tracheobronchial obstructive malignancies with few complications.
Objective To compare the diagnostic value of sterile sputumsuction tube with protected specimen brush in mechanically ventilated patients with serious lung infection, and explore the safety and efficacy of bronchofibroscope combining mechanical ventilation in the treatment of severe lung infection.Methods Seventy-four severe lung infection patients with invasive mechanical ventilation support were recruited in the study. Based on the routine treatment, the subjects were randomly divided into a control group received only mechanical ventilation, and a treatment group received sputum aspiration and bronchial lavage by bronchofibroscope combiningmechanical ventilation. Lower respiratory tract secretion was collected to analyze the bacterial etiology with sterile sputum suction tube in the control group, and with protectedspecimen brush in the treatment group. Results The positive rate of sputum suction tube and protected specimen brush was 70. 27% and 75. 68% , respectively, with no statistical difference between the two groups ( P gt; 0. 05) . The PaO2 of the treatment group increased and PaCO2 decreased obviously after sputum aspiration and bronchial lavage by bronchofibroscope ( P lt; 0. 01) . The total effective rate was also highly increased, and the heart rate and respiration were stable in the treatment group. The time of mechanical ventilation and the length of ICU stay were all shortened in the treatment group compared with the control group. Conclusions Sterile sputum suction tube can not only acquire accurate pathogen, but also is a simple and economical method for patients with severe lung infection with mechanical ventilation. Sputum aspiration and bronchial lavage with bronchofibroscope combining mechanical ventilation are effective and safe treatment for patients with severe lung infection.
