Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Endoscopy

Background:

  • Urgent bronchoscopic examinations are increasingly performed in intensive care settings.
  • These procedures address critical patient needs in surgical and internal medicine ICUs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the indications, contraindications, and outcomes of urgent bronchoscopic examinations.
  • To highlight the importance of diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy in emergency care.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 1535 urgent bronchoscopic examinations conducted between 1998-2002.
  • Data collection on indications, interventions, and patient populations.

Main Results:

  • Key indications included postoperative excretion removal, fistula suspicion, foreign body retrieval, and airway management.

  • Contraindications such as lack of consent, size mismatch, and asthma exacerbations were noted.
  • Bronchoscopy proved vital for both diagnosis and therapy in emergency settings.

    • Conclusions:

    • There is a growing need for both diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy in emergency wards and ICUs.
    • Anesthetists require foundational bronchofiberoscope skills.
    • Pulmonologist-bronchologists must possess advanced skills to manage complex emergency cases.
