Background:

Bronchoscopy is a common procedure for diagnosing and treating lung conditions.
Prolonged airway manipulation can pose challenges during general anesthesia.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of prolonged bronchoscopy under general anesthesia.
To assess the feasibility of advanced airway interventions during this procedure.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of 22 patients undergoing 29 prolonged bronchoscopies.
General anesthesia with apneic oxygenation and mechanical hyperventilation.
Careful management of postoperative bronchospasm.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

Prolonged operative manipulation in the airway was performed safely and satisfactorily.

Key requisites included apneic oxygenation, adequate endotracheal tube size, and hyperventilation.

Early localization of occult bronchogenic carcinoma was achieved.

Conclusions:

Prolonged bronchoscopy under general anesthesia is a viable option for complex airway interventions.
This approach facilitates earlier diagnosis of lung cancer.
Meticulous anesthetic and postoperative management are crucial for patient safety.
