Bronchoscopes

01/01/1979 - "During the period from 1966 to 1974, 110 cases of foreign bodies in the tracheobronchial tree were treated in our clinic using the ventilation bronchoscope under general anesthesia, and good results were obtained. "
07/01/2002 - "In adults, removal of the foreign body can be attempted during diagnostic examination with a fibreoptic bronchoscope under local anaesthesia, which may help to avoid any further invasive procedures with more complications. "
01/01/2015 - "Imaging studies initially missed a foreign body (the chicken bone), which was found on follow-up studies and was removed with a flexible bronchoscope despite the fact that 5 years had passed since the aspiration. "
01/01/2009 - "In the present study, we evaluate the efficacy and safety of EC coated on the rigid bronchoscope for tracheobronchial foreign body removal in children undergoing intravenous anesthesia with spontaneous ventilation. "
07/01/2006 - "The objectives of our study were to find out the frequency in terms of age and sex of the patients, type and site of foreign bodies, clinical manifestations and management with rigid ventilating bronchoscope. "

04/01/2011 - "The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility, safety and efficiency using video-assisted rigid bronchoscopes (VARB) in the treatment of central airway stenoses. "
06/01/2013 - "Percutaneous cardiopulmonary support was introduced before anesthetic induction in a patient with severe respiratory distress and hypercapnea,then an endotracheal tube successfully passed the stenosis guided by a fiberoptic bronchoscope. "
03/01/2013 - "The fiberoptic bronchoscope examination, CT scan and three-dimensinal reconstruction showed that artificial tracheas were all in good location without twisting at immediate after operation; mild stenosis occurred and anastomoses had slight granulation in 6 dogs at 1 month; severe stenosis developed and anastomosis had more granulation in 1 dog and the other dogs were well alive without anastomotic stenosis at 6 months. "
01/01/2011 - "After inserting a rigid bronchoscope under general anesthesia, a flexible bronchoscopic evaluation using a 5.9- or 6.0-mm standard bronchoscope was performed, followed by evaluation using a prototype 3.4- or 3.5-mm thin bronchoscope for airways beyond the site of stenosis, which could not be visualized by the standard bronchoscope. "
10/01/2010 - "During bronchoscopy, an aOCT fiberoptic probe was inserted through the working channel of the bronchoscope to image the airway stenosis. "

01/01/2013 - "Fatal hemoptysis happened during endobronchial biopsy by flexible bronchoscope forcep. "
11/01/2012 - "Age range, sex, hemoptysis, smoking, CXR, and bronchoscope finding were not significant different between pulmonary TB and not pulmonary TB. "
01/01/2012 - "Case report: separation from cardiopulmonary bypass with a rigid bronchoscope airway after hemoptysis and bronchial impaction with clot."
11/01/2011 - "[The safety of bronchoscope guided implantation of 2 double-lumen balloon micro-catheter in the treatment of pulmonary hemoptysis: the factors involved]."
11/01/2000 - "Utilizing a blind method to locate the bronchial cuff of a left-sided DLT without using any instrument, a DLT (Broncho-Cath, Mallinckrodt Medical Ltd., Athlone, Ireland) was successfully positioned without delay in a patient with massive hemoptysis, where auscultation could be misleading or useless and fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) was inapplicable. "

11/01/1982 - "The bronchoscope was helpful in establishing diagnosis and also served as a tool for aspirating secretions and resolving atelectasis. "
01/01/2014 - "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. "
12/01/1996 - "The following were studied: 1) time required to position each tube until satisfactory placement was achieved; 2) number of times that the fiberoptic bronchoscope was required; 3) frequency of malpositions after initial placement with fiberoptic bronchoscopy; 4) time required until lung collapse; 5) surgical exposure ranked by surgeons blinded to type of tube used; and 6) cost of tubes per case. "
05/01/1996 - "A heterogeneous group of 11 children with atelectasis persisting longer than one month were investigated for the causes using chest computed tomography and fiberoptic bronchoscope. "
09/01/1992 - "They center around using the bronchoscope for removal of secretions, mucus plugs and reversing atelectasis in mechanically ventilated patients. "

10/01/2014 - "With the classical balloon tamponade technique, the bleeding airway is occluded by inflating a balloon catheter, which is passed through the bronchoscope. "
02/01/2013 - "We found that: 1) Ciaglia Blue-Rhino® (CBR) was the most commonly used tracheostomy (32.8%; N.=1953) and the main indication was prolonged mechanical ventilation (58.8%; N.=77); 2) tracheostomy was performed between 7-15 days (71.8%; N.=94) from ICU admission by a dedicated team (62.6%; N.=82) involving more than one intensive care physician and a nurse; 3) tracheostomy was frequently guided by fiberoptic bronchoscope (93.1%, N.=122) while neck ultrasounds were used as a screening procedure to assess at-risk structure often in presence of pathological anatomical structures (68.7%; N.=90); 4) ventilation protocol and sedation-analgesia-neuromuscular blocking protocol were available in 83.2% and 58.8% of ICUs, respectively; 5) minor bleeding controlled by compression was the most common early and late complication. "
07/01/2012 - "The indication for use of this technique is, above all, a situation in which a flexible bronchoscope, a video laryngoscope or other alternative devices are not available or, respectively, when their use is - or appears to be - not possible due to bleeding and secretions or other particular anatomic pathological conditions. "
01/01/2012 - "We used a rigid bronchoscope, without an endotracheal tube, to facilitate airway patency in a patient with diffuse airway bleeding after bronchial disimpaction to separate from CPB."
08/01/2010 - "Bronchoscope revealed bleeding from the left lower bronchus. "
