• Recurrent Infection

  Complications Although it is usually an incidental finding, it may be associated with recurrent infections in 20% of patients. [radiopaedia.org]

  infection: Children who have not had surgery to fix CPAM are at risk of recurrent pulmonary infections due to bronchial compression, air trapping, and inability to clear secretions Coughing up blood or hemoptysis may occur especially in older children [childrensnational.org]

  Tracheal bronchus is usually asymptomatic and found as an incidental finding on an imaging study or bronchoscopy but can be associated with chronic atelectasis, recurrent infection, or bronchiectasis. [radiologykey.com]

  These are usually incidental findings at CT, although less commonly they may be associated with recurrent infection. [appliedradiology.com]

  The ETT was then gradually withdrawn, and trachea was extubated uneventfully. The patient was nursed in propped up position with oxygen supplementation in the postanesthesia care unit, now with no difficulty. [annals.in]

  After placing the tip of the bronchoscope beyond the stenosis the rigid tube is gradually withdrawn while the external endotracheal tube is held in place, leaving the stent at the desired location. [ctsnet.org]

Repeat workup revealed normal airway patency with relaxed breathing, however near complete airway collapse with mild forced exhalation or cough. [ispub.com]

The gold standard for diagnosis is flexible bronchoscopy; however, because patients present with nonspecific symptoms ranging from cough to complete airway obstruction, imaging is often obtained as part of the initial workup. 18 The CT appearance of papillomatosis [appliedradiology.com]

In recent years, airway stenting has become a popular treatment for these cases. We achieved success with endobronchial stenting in a two-month-old infant with bronchial compression caused by a dilated pulmonary artery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This review describes the pathophysiology and epidemiology of EDAC, then distinguishes EDAC from TBM and describes its precipitating factors, clinical presentation, also in addition to covering its potential treatments and prognosis. [shortnessofbreath.it]

They are generally small, do not metastasize to regional lymph nodes, and are associated with an excellent prognosis, with surgical resection resulting in a cure in most cases. [appliedradiology.com]

Thyroid cancer and masses can lead to CAO either by local invasion or by extrinsic compression effect on the major airways. [1] Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is the most aggressive form of thyroid cancer with an extremely poor prognosis. [lungindia.com]

Epidemiology The lack of standardization in the diagnosis of EDAC and its non-distinction from TBM in the past is an obstacle in defining the epidemiology of this disease. [shortnessofbreath.it]

Epidemiology Approximately 80,000 cases of malignant airway obstruction are treated annually in the United States. Cases of CAO occur in 20% to 30% of lung cancer patients. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

It is often mentioned, incidentally and interchangeably, with tracheobronchomalacia (TBM), but it is pathophysiologically and morphologically distinct from TBM. [shortnessofbreath.it]

Given the unique pathophysiology of CF resulting in the abnormal composition of CF secretions, evidence of the effectiveness of high-frequency chest wall compression devices in CF can not be extrapolated to other pulmonary conditions. [aetna.com]

To prevent the other 17 patients from suffering this serious complication, we adopted a thorough preparation strategy: 13 patients underwent safe simultaneous bronchoscopy and cardiac catheterisation; in the remaining 4 patients CT-angiography enabled [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The surfactant has phospholipid dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, which prevents lung collapse by reducing the surface tension of the alveoli. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The goals of the operation are to; 1- prevent of infection in the abnormal area of lung within the CPAM, 2- expand of the CPAM, which will compress normal lung tissue, and 3- prevent the CPAM from possibly becoming concerns in the future. [childrensnational.org]

Thus, to prevent the other 17 patients from this serious complication, we shifted to a thorough preparation strategy: in 13 patients consistent impact assessment was safely performed by simultaneous bronchoscopy and cardiac catheterization. [thieme-connect.com]
