And as the world population increases and life expectancy expands, the pressure mounts on hospital budgets, workflow efficiency, and ultimately, patient safety," Lars Marcher, CEO and president of Danish single-use
bronchoscope manufacturer Ambu A/S, stated last summer.
A linear array ultrasonic
bronchoscope (BF-UC260F-OL8, Olympus Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) was employed for the puncture procedure [Figure 1]d.
Conclusion: Our study has shown that right sided double lumen endobronchial tubehad similar clinical efficacy as left double lumen endobronchial tube when they are used for fiberoptic
bronchoscope.
Oxygen by mask, glycopyrrolate 0.2 mg, midazolam 2-3 mg, fentanyl 100 to 150 pgm, propofol 60-80 mg until the verbal contact or apnoea, supraglottic device insertion, connected to Bain's circuit, only oxygen, spontaneous ventilation, supplemental oxygen through nasal prongs from different source, no nitrous oxide or inhalation agent, small incremental doses of propofol, fentanyl and topical lidocaine through working channel of
bronchoscope whenever patient coughed or moved.
The fiberoptic
bronchoscope mounted with the nasal tube was passed through the split nasopharyngeal airway and vocal cords were visualized.
Lignocaine 4% was used to spray nose and throat for local anesthesia; lignocaine gel was used to lubricate the nasal passage during scope insertion and lignocaine 2% was used to anesthetize the airways during
bronchoscope insertion and inspection through the vocal cords and lower airways.
In this 320-g cockatoo, a flexible
bronchoscope was passed through the oral cavity without ingluviotomy, and the foreign body was successfully removed with an endoscopic retrieval basket passed alongside the
bronchoscope.
Non-lavaged lung was ventilated with Manujet through the rigid
bronchoscope. In literature, there was a single case where rigid
bronchoscope was used for lung ventilation and PAC for lavage (1, 7).
Park et al.16 reported airway length from the central incisor to the carina, measured using a flexible fiberoptic
bronchoscope, to be 27.1 cm for men and 25.1 cm for women in patients under general anaesthesia.
InterVapor, Uptake's proprietary targeted vapor ablation technology that received CE Mark approval in 2015, applies energy with heated water vapor via a standard
bronchoscope to the lungs.
has debuted its next generation video
bronchoscope and EndoSheath technology.
A trocar 5.5 mm in diameter was then inserted, followed by a
bronchoscope. The pleural cavity was inspected and biopsies were performed under direct vision in all suspected areas.
