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]

• Internal Bleeding

  Bronchoscopy, in addition to providing evidence of airway narrowing also allows for the visual assessment of airway inflammation and evidence of internal bleeding along the airways. [web.archive.org]

• Left Ventricular Dysfunction

  Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a transient left-ventricular dysfunction that typically occurs in elderly women due to emotional or physical stress. An 85-y-old woman underwent flexible bronchoscopy to evaluate her malignant lymphoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure

  After flexible bronchoscopy, she experienced takotsubo cardiomyopathy diagnosed by left ventriculography and subsequent generalized tonic-clonic seizure diagnosed by electroencephalography. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Neglect

  Neglected foreign body was seen in five patients. CONCLUSIONS: Non-resolving pneumonia is often an area of clinical dilemma. Bacterial infections are the commonest etiology. [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]

• Mediastinal Shift

  MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 24 year-old female, Gravida 2, Para 1, was referred at 27.5 weeks with a large fetal left lung mass with marked right mediastinal shift and no visible normal left lung. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Left Axis Deviation

  Initial work-up showed left axis deviation on ECG, chest X-ray with an elevated left hemidiaphragm and a non-contrast CT chest that showed a multilobulated mass in the proximal trachea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

He has since completed further training in emergency medicine, clinical toxicology, clinical epidemiology and health professional education. [lifeinthefastlane.com]

Epidemiology and Natural History Life-threatening massive hemoptysis accounts for only a minority of episodes of hemoptysis, ranging from 5 to 15% across studies [1,4,9,16,45]. [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]

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]

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]

This prevents fluid from reaccumulating around the lung. Indwelling pleural catheter. A pleural catheter is an alternative to pleurodesis for treatment of a recurrent pleural effusion. [webmd.com]
