Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a clinical syndrome caused by many reasons, which is characterized by intractable hypoxemia. Its etiology is complex and its mortality is high. Lung biopsy techniques can give accurate histopathological diagnosis to such patients to guide treatment and improve prognosis. At present, lung biopsy techniques include surgical lung biopsy, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy, transbronchial lung biopsy and percutaneous lung biopsy. The diagnostic rate of surgical lung biopsy is high, but it is traumatic and difficult to implement. The diagnostic rate of transbronchial cryobiopsy is relatively high, and the complications are acceptable. Transbronchial lung biopsy is minimally invasive but the diagnostic rate is low. The diagnostic rate of percutaneous lung biopsy is relatively high, and the complications are relatively few. For patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome who need lung biopsy, it is very important to choose different surgical procedures according to their effectiveness, safety and applicability.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) in the diagnosis of lung space-occupying lesions.MethodsFrom June 1, 2017 to December 30, 2017, transbronchial biopsies were performed in patients with lung space-occupying lesions on chest CT, and biopsies were taken for ROSE and subsequent routine pathological examination. ROSE interpretation was performed by a pulmonologist who had been trained in cytopathology for 3 months. The interpretation was correlated with the follow-up routine pathological examination. The contemporary cases with lung space-occupying lesions who underwent transbronchial biopsies without ROSE were retrospectively reviewed. The quality assessment of biopsy specimens recorded in pathological reports were compared between cases with and without ROSE.ResultsA total of 101 patients underwent transbronchial biopsies in parallel with ROSE. The interpretation results of the pulmonologist were compared with the follow-up routine pathology, which showed that the consistency rate of malignant lesions was 84.1% and the consistency rate of benign lesions was 93.8%. Consistency test showed good agreement between the ROSE conducted by the pulmonologist and the routine pathological examination by pathologists (κ=0.66, P<0.01). The quality assessment of biopsy specimens showed that there was no significant difference on rate of satisfied biopsy specimens between cases with and without ROSE (98.0%vs 94.5%, P=0.14).ConclusionsThe use of ROSE combining with bronchoscopy allows good preliminary assessment of lung space-occupying lesions. Pulmonologists trained in short-term formal cytopathology are fully capable of performing ROSE, thereby obviating the need for cytopathologists to participate in on-site evaluation.
Objective To evaluate the application value of spiral CT virtual endoscopy and three dimensional imaging in fiberoptic bronchoscopic balloon dilation in patients with benign tracheobronchial stenosis. Methods Thirty-three cases of benign tracheobronchial stenosis from June 2004 to November 2008 were checked by spiral CT with airway tracheobronchial reconstruction. For the patients with indications, balloon dilatation was performed under fiberoptic bronchoscope. The three-dimensional reconstruction images were compared with the findings under bronchoscopy. And the preoperative and postoperative three-dimensional reconstruction images were compared for airway diameter. Results Three cases were found stenosis of middle lobe by CT virtual endoscopy and did not undergo balloon dilatation. The remaining 30 cases were confirmed by bronchoscopy findings similar to the images by tracheobronchial reconstruction with CT, with consistent rate of 100% . Immediate postoperative three-dimensional CTreconstruction of tracheal bronchus revealed that diameter of stenotic bronchus increased from ( 2. 7 ±1. 3) mm to ( 6. 9 ±1. 6) mmafter operation. Conclusion Multislice spiral CT virtual endoscopy is helpful in fiberoptic bronchoscopic balloon dilation in patients with benign tracheobronchial stenosis and postoperative follow-up.
The robotic bronchoscopy system is a new technology for lung lesion location, biopsy and interventional therapy. Its safety and effectiveness have been clinically proven. Based on many advanced technologies carried by the robotic bronchoscopy system, it is more intelligent, convenient and stable when clinicians perform bronchoscopy operations. It has higher accuracy and diagnostic rates, and less complications than bronchoscopy with the assistance of magnetic navigation and ordinary bronchoscopy. This article gave a review of the progress of robotic bronchoscopy systems, and a prospect of the combination with artificial intelligence.
ObjectiveTo explore the safety and efficacy of the treatment of peripheral bronchopleural fistula with customized silicone plug through bronchoscope. MethodsA total of 19 patients with BPF admitted to Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital from July 2017 to May 2023 were included. Detailed medical records of the patients were collected, including etiology, fistula location, treatment methods, complications, and effective rates, to assess the safety and efficacy of customized silicone plug occlusion. ResultsThe average age of the 19 patients was 61.58 years (range from 42~84 years). The fistulas were located at the right upper lobe in 8 cases, the right middle lobe in 2 cases, the right lower lobe in 2 cases, the left upper lobe in 2 cases, and the left lower lobe in 5 cases. Causes included 9 cases after pneumonectomy, 6 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax, 1 case post Microwave Ablation Therapy for lung nodule, 1 case of advanced lung cancer under radiotherapy and chemotherapy, 1 case of candidal pneumonia, and 1 case of pulmonary tuberculosis. 15 patients were successfully occluded for the first time, 1 case failed to place the plug, and 3 cases had silicone plug dislodgement within 1 week after the procedure, with a short-term effective rate of 73.68% (14 cases). A total of 40 customized silicone plugs were placed, with an average of (2.10±0.74), and the mean diameter of the plugs used was 6.4 mm, with a range of 3 to 9 mm. Fifteen patients were recruited for long-term follow-up, with a median follow-up time of 15 months (range from 1.5 to 53 months). One patient developed a new fistula on the 45th day, who was treated with a combined small Y-type single bullet-covered stent for occlusion. One patient died of severe pneumonia 3 months postoperatively, and one died of type II respiratory failure at the 30th month, both deaths were unrelated to the interventional procedure. The long-term effective rate was 68.42% (13 cases). ConclusionPlacing customized silicone plugs through bronchoscopy can rapidly and effectively occlude peripheral BPF, with satisfactory long-term outcome.
