The results provided a "yield/procedure [rate at] 74% and 100% for peripheral lesions and lymph nodes, respectively." Additionally, "a diagnosis was obtained in 80.4% of bronchoscopic procedures." The study concluded that ENB "is a safe method for sampling peripheral and mediastinal lesions with high diagnostic yield independent of lesion size ...
The German laryngologist Gustav Killian is attributed with performing the first bronchoscopy in 1897. [1] Killian used a rigid bronchoscope to remove a pork bone. The procedure was done in an awake patient using topical cocaine as a local anesthetic. [2] From this time until the 1970s, rigid bronchoscopes were used exclusively.
Ex vivo lung perfusion, on the other hand, is a controlled process outside the body, where donor lungs are connected to a perfusion machine. Unlike in vivo perfusion, EVLP can be adjusted to optimise conditions for lung repair and assessment without the constraints of the body's immune and coagulation systems. [10]
Endobronchial valves are inserted using a bronchoscope into sections of the lungs damaged by emphysema. Endobronchial valves are medical devices that allow air to exit these sections but not to re-enter. The valves, in effect, cause damaged lung tissue to deflate, thereby reducing the excessive lung volume (hyperinflation) caused by emphysema.
Ebus (intercity bus), an intercity bus service in Canada owned by Pacific Western Transportation; EBUS (serial buses), a data-bus communication interface; Electric bus, several types of buses which uses electric power Battery electric bus, the most common type of electric bus; Endobronchial ultrasound, a diagnostic procedure used in Medicine
They incorporate an endotracheal lumen which terminates in the trachea and an endobronchial lumen, the distal tip of which is positioned 1–2 cm into the right or left mainstem bronchus. There is also the Univent tube, which has a single tracheal lumen and an integrated endobronchial blocker. These tubes enable one to ventilate both lungs, or ...
[22] [9] One of them is a study by Ando et al. of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, University of Tokyo, which demonstrated for the first time in the world that early BAE (within three days after endotracheal intubation) significantly reduced in-hospital mortality in patients with severe hemoptysis on ventilators (30 days): 7.5% in the ...
Endobronchial valve. An endobronchial valve (EBV) is a small, one-way valve, which may be implanted in an airway feeding the lung or part of lung. The valve allows air to be breathed out of the section of lung supplied, and prevents air from being breathed in. This leaves the rest of the lung to expand more normally and avoid air-trapping.
