It usually presents as bilateral multiple nodular lesions. We report a middle-aged woman with a unique presentation of PEH with lung lobar collapse. The diagnosis was made with fibreoptic bronchoscopy rather than video-assisted thoracoscopy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnosis Diagnostic workup for massive hemoptysis should be undertaken as soon as airway protection and hemodynamic status are assessed and stabilized. [karger.com]

He then underwent treatment with hyperbaric oxygen with a full and complete neurologic recovery. Review of other cases reported in the literature suggests improved neurologic outcomes with hyperbaric oxygen treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

“The earlier we can start treatment, the better the prognosis.” Bronchoscopy can often be used to either confirm the diagnosis of lung cancer or establish an alternative diagnosis. [nydailynews.com]

It is likely to believe, but hard to prove, that a prolonged period of diagnosing and treating lung cancer aggravates the prognosis [7]. 4.3. [hindawi.com]

However, the etiology of the pneumothorax remained unclear. We presume that cough-related increase in intrathoracic pressure might have led to interstitial air dissection and bilateral pneumothorax. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In most patients with infectious or inflammatory etiologies, hemoptysis is due to erosion of small friable PA branches located within the peribronchial tissue. [karger.com]

The procedure may prove useful in the differential diagnosis and in the potential treatment of different fetal lung lesions, as well as aid in the understanding of the role of bronchial obstruction as a common pathophysiologic mechanism for different [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Understanding of the pathophysiological consequences of fibreoptic bronchoscopy in mechanically ventilated patients is essential in order to reduce complication rates. [academic.oup.com]

In this article, we will review the definition, etiology, pathophysiology, assessment and management of massive hemoptysis, with special focus on the essential role of bronchoscopy as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. [karger.com]

UT bronchoscopy can prevent the need to pursue more invasive open lung strategies to diagnose suspicious lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You may feel a tugging sensation when the doctor removes a tissue sample. You may also have some breathing difficulty or shortness of breath during the procedure. [uvahealth.com]

A local anesthetic will be sprayed into your nose and mouth to prevent gagging when the bronchoscopy tube is passed through your mouth. [summitmedicalgroup.com]
