This study is to explore the efficacy and safety of bronchoscopic
electrocoagulation treatment for pediatric disease of poor ventilation. Seventy pediatric patients of airway
stenosis and obstruction as well as pharyngeal and laryngeal
cysts received bronchoscopic
electrocoagulation treatment, including 15 cases of epiglottic
cyst, 13 cases of cicatricial
hyperplasia of fibrous tissue after trachea intubation, 5 cases of
foreign body in bronchus and 37 cases of endobronchial
tuberculosis. Before and after the last
electrocoagulation treatment, treatment efficacy was evaluated by examining the patients' clinical presentations and lesions in airway under
bronchoscope, examining chest CT and pulmonary function, and estimating
pulmonary atelectasis and ventilation function. Seventy cases of pediatric patients were treated by bronchoscopic
electrocoagulation, with the total treatment number of 106 times. Among them, 66 cases were treated with marked efficacy and 4 cases were with effective treatment. There was no invalid treatment. The treatment efficacy was 100% without complications. Bronchoscopic
electrocoagulation treatment is a fast, effective and safe therapeutic method in treating airway
stenosis and obstruction, such as
foreign body in bronchus, granulation tissue
hyperplasia, and epiglottic
cysts. It is worthy of being widely applied in clinic.
