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.
Abstract： Objective To evaluate clinical outcomes of painless flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the treatment for pulmonary complications in postoperative pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 58 patients who received fiberoptic bronchoscopy for pulmonary complications after surgical repair for atrial septal defect， ventricular septal defect， tetralogy of Fallot， double outlet right ventricle or transposition of the great arteries in First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University From August 2009 to February 2012. There were 26 male patients and 32 female patients with their age ranging from 20 days to 2 years. Olympus xp-60 fiberoptic bronchoscopy was used for removal of airway secretions and bronchial alveolar lavage under anesthesia with propofol， fentanyl and lidocaine. Pulse oximetry， respiratory sound and chest X-ray changes were observed. Results The examination time of painless fiberoptic bronchoscopy was 10-25 minutes in the 58 patients. After removal of airway secretions by fiberoptic bronchoscopy， their respiratory status improved significantly， pulse oxygen saturation increased by 5%-12%， and their pulmonary crackles were significantly reduced. In 29 patients with atelectasis， their pulmonary lobes demonstrated significant reexpansion in chest X-ray reviews on the next day after fiberoptic bronchoscopy， and 8 patients received another fiberoptic bronchoscopy treatment on the next day to achieve complete pulmonary reexpansion. One patient with severe pulmonary hypertension （PH） stayed in intensive care unit （ICU） for 6 days， 3 patients with transposition of the great arteries stayed in ICU for 5 days， 3 patients with double outlet of right ventricle and moderately high PH stayed in ICU for 4 days， and all the other patients were discharged from ICU within 48 hours after admission. There was no severe complication related to fiberoptic bronchoscopy， except 2 patients with minor nasal mucosa bleeding who were cured with hemostatic drugs and local compression. Conclusion Painless flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy can significantly enhance clinical outcomes and shorten ICU stay for postoperative pediatric patients with congenital heart diseases.
Abstract: Objective To compare the sensitivity and accuracy of autofluorescence bronchoscope (AFB) and white light bronchoscope (WLB) in airway examination for patients with central type lung cancer. Methods From September 2009 to May 2010, 46 patients including 36 males and 10 females with an average age of 62.1 years underwent both AFB and WLB procedures in People’s Hospital of Peking University. Among them, 35 were preliminary diagnostic cases and 11 were postoperative surveillance cases. Local anaesthesia of glottis and airway, and general anaesthesia with continuous intravenous drugs were given before electric bronchoscope was adopted. All patients underwent WLB examination followed by AFB procedure. All suspicious abnormal visual findings were recorded for biopsy and pathological examination. Results All procedures were carried out safely without death or severe complications. We performed bronchoscopy 48 times for all 46 patients and 159 tissues of various sites were taken out for biopsy and pathologic examination which showed 64 malignancies and 95 none malignancies. In 64 malignancies, AFB found all but WLB missed 15 with a missed diagnosis rate of 23.4%. Thirtysix times of examination were performed for the 35 preliminary diagnostic cases and 56 sites of malignancy were found. AFB found all, while WLB missed 12, and 6 sites of malignancy found by AFB were larger in size than those found by WLB. AFB detected 3 cases of multisite malignancy, but WLB missed these diagnoses. The results of AFB and WLB were the same for 26 patients. Twelve times of bronchoscopy were performed for the 11 postoperative surveillance cases and 8 sites of malignancy were found. AFB found them all while WLB missed 3 which were two recurrent cases during the early period after lung cancer surgery. The sensitivity of AFB and WLB was 100.0 % and 76.6%(Plt;0.05) respectively, and the negative predictive value of AFB and WLB was 100.0% and 84.5%(P=0.002) respectively. Conclusion AFB has a better sensitivity and negative predictive value than WLB in detecting mucous canceration lesions in central type lung cancer, and is more accurate in assessment of tumor margins, more sensitive in finding multiple lesions in airway and detecting early cancer recurrence in postoperative surveillance patients.
Objective To summarize our experience of using rigid bronchoscopy in the managent of patients with tracheobronchial disease. Methods From Sep.2002 to Nov.2007, 44 patients of tracheobronchial disease（31 men，13 women, median age 51.9 years) underwent rigid bronchoscopic operations. All procedures were carried out under general anesthesia with high frequency jet ventilation. After the rigid bronchoscope was placed in the main trachea through the mouth , the airway was checked out firstly, and then the lesion was removed by repeated freezing, argon plasma coagulation, cauterization or mechanical ablation, and a stent maybe implanted while needed. Results All 54 procedures were accomplished endoscopically without mortality or major morbidity (16 clearence,19 core out,8 scar clearance,3 foreign body removal, 8 stent insert or removal).The lesion located at trachea in 19 cases, at carina in 4 cases,at left main bronchus in 11 cases and at right main bronchus in 10 cases. There were 17 benign diseases and 27 malignant diseases. There were 3 slight complications. 16 patients compliating with benign disease were followed-up and 1 patient was missed,there was no tumor recurrence except 3 patients complicating with tracheal scar who received reoperations during 4-44 (mean 23.0) months follow-up period. Of the 27 malignant cases,23 patients were followed-up and 4 patients were missed, the follow-up period were 5-58(mean 27.1)months.3 patients died in one months after operation of other disease; the other patients all survived more than one month,especially 7 patients who received radical resection of the tumor survived more than one year. Conclusions These data show that rigid bronchoscope can be applied safely and effectively in the management of tracheobronchial disease.
Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of sufentanil combined with propofol for painless fiberbronchoscopy. Methods A total of 120 patients undergoing fiberbronchoscopy were divided into two groups according to their admission sequence: group S (sufentanil + propofol, n=60) and group F (fentanil + propofol, n=60). Parameters including heart rate (HR), systol ic blood pressure (SBP), diastol ic blood pressure (DBP), saturation of blood oxygen (SPO2), dose of propofol, duration of the procedure, waking time and score of Observer’s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S) scale were recorded. Results The HR increased significantly 3 minutes after drug administration in both groups (Plt;0.05). The SPO2 decreased significantly 3 minutes after drug administration in both groups (Plt;0.05). The average dose of propofol and OAA/a score were similar between the two groups (Pgt;0.05). The waking time was significantly shorter in group S than in group F (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Sufentanil combined with propofol could offer a good sedative/analgesic effect during painless fiberbronchoscopy.
ObjectiveTo evaluate if intravenous lidocaine can reduce the stress response induced by fiberoptic bronchoscopy in patients under general anesthesia. MethodsSixty patients undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy under unconsciousness between November 2013 and July 2014 were randomly divided into two groups: lidocaine group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Patients in the lidocaine group received an intravenous injection of lidocaine for 1 mg/kg during induction and then continuous intravenous infusion of 2% lidocaine with a dose of 3 mg/(kg·h). The same volume of saline was given to patients of the control group in the same way. Laryngeal mask airway was placed after anesthesia induction. Variables of heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and pulse oxygen saturation were observed and recorded at five time points: before induction, immediately after induction, immediately after laryngeal mask airway placement, fiberoptic bronchoscopy across tracheal carina and before leaving examination room. Complications including cough reflex, toxicity reaction of local anesthetics, and injection pain were also observed. ResultsThe examination was successfully completed in all patients. Blood pressure and heart rate increased in all patients when fiberoptic bronchoscopy got across tracheal carina. There were no statistically significant differences in the two groups (P>0.05). Patients in the two groups had no statistic difference in tinnitus and numbness of tongue (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, patients in the lidocaine group had lower incidence of injection pain (P<0.05). ConclusionIntravenous lidocaine cannot suppress stress response induced by fiberoptic bronchoscopy effectively.
The present study was to develop and design a new sonography rigid bronchoscopy and corollary vacuum-assisted biopsy device system with less injury and complication. The system combined ultrasonic-probe with ultrasound catheter, a new medical ultrasound technique, and rigid bronchoscopy (RB) which is improved with an auxiliary vacuum-assisted biopsy device. The principle of the device is vacuum suction and rotary knife. The reduced outer diameter of the RB led to less pain and lower complications for the patient. With the help of ultrasonic-probe (30 MHz), lesions and blood vessels can be identified clearly and unintentional puncture and damage to blood vessels can be avoided. Plenty of lesions can be obtained quickly through the vacuum-assisted biopsy device without getting puncture needle in and out repeatedly. The novel endobronchial sonography rigid bronchoscopy and matched vacuum-assisted biopsy device has many remarkable advantages. It can enlarge the applied range of the RB from endobronchial to mediastinal lesions, avoiding unintentional puncture of vessels. Obtaining multiple samples with a higher accuracy rate than that by other sampling techniques, minimizing operation time, alleviating pain and decreasing the complication rate, the system makes up the technical deficiency for the diagnosis and treatment of the mediastinal lesions, to a certain degree.
ObjectiveTracheobronchial foreign bodies (TFBs) aspiration is rare in adults,although it can occur at any age. This study aimed to report our experience in airway foreign body removal by flexible bronchoscopy in adult patients of central south China. MethodsA total of 244 patients with TFBs over the age of 14 years were reviewed retrospectively from January 1997 to February 2012. The incidence,risk factors,clinical manifestations,radiological findings,types and locations of TFBs were analyzed. ResultsAmong the 27719 patients,TFBs were found only in 0.88%(244) cases. The prevalence of TFB aspiration increased steadily with age beginning in the fifth decade. The incidence of TFBs was 0.62% among people aged 70 to 80 years. Risk factors such as cerebrovascular diseases and neural degenerative disease were found among 32 (6.6%) patients. Among 153 patients with clear history of foreign body aspiration,135 patients (88.2%) were addicted to the hot pepper. Paroxysmal cough (81.1%) was the most common clinical manifestations of TFBs. Only 12 cases (4.9%) were found with non-opaque foreign bodies by chest X-ray but 106 cases (43.4%) were found with opaque foreign bodies by chest CT. The most common indirect chest imaging findings were recurrent infections and consolidation of the same area.Bone fragments of animals was the most common type in foreign bodies (47.2%). The most common position of foreign bodies was the right bronchial (65.6%). Total foreign bodies of 234 patients (95.9%) had been successfully removed by flexible bronchoscopy. ConclusionAlthough TFBs is rare in adults in south China,but yield by flexible bronchoscopy (0.88%) is much higher than that is reported in western countries (0.32%-0.33%). Addiction to the hot pepper and speaking loudly when having dinner may be the major risk factor for high incidence in central south China.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) combined with fiberoptic bronchoscopy(FB) on acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive puhmonary disease (AECOPD) patients with acute respiratory failure. MethodsA prospective study was conducted on the AECOPD patients with respiratory failure in respiratory intensive care unit of Tangdu Hospital of Fourth Military Medicine University from February 2010 to February 2011.They were randomly divided into a case group and a control group.The case group was administrated FB and lavage after one hour of NIPPV treatment.The control group was administrated NIPPV without FB and lavage.Other treatment regimen was the same in two groups. ResultsThere were 51 subjects recruited in the study, 25 subjects in the case group and 26 subjects in the control group.All variables at baseline were matched (P > 0.05).All variables improved after one hour of NIPPV before FB, without significant difference between two groups (P > 0.05).During the period of FB, heart rate in the case group was faster than that in the control group (P < 0.05), and other variables were not significantly different between two groups (P > 0.05).Both groups received NIPPV for one hour after FB, the variables including heart rate, respiratory rate, pH, PaO2, PaCO2 were statistically significant between two groups(P < 0.05).At the time of 24 hours after FB, the variables including mean arterial pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, pH, PaO2 and PaCO2 in the case group were nearly recovered, and differences between two groups were significant (P < 0.05).The positive rate of sputum culture was significantly higher in the case group than that in the control group[88.0%(22/25) vs.58.6%(14/26)].Success rate in the case group were obviously superior to that in control group.The cases of failure, death and refusing in the case group were lower than those in the control group.Complications in two groups had no significant difference (P > 0.05).There was not serious complication such as hear arrest, hemoptysis and apnea during the process of NIPPV combined with early FB. Conclusion It deserves to be used in clinic because of the safety, efficacy and feasible for most of AECOPD patients through NIPPV combined with early FB.
