[Bronchitis after pneumonectomy in patients with lung cancer]
Abstract:
Postoperative bronchitis developed in 99 (8.3%) of 1,189 patients who underwent pneumonectomy for lung carcinoma. The sequelae of postoperative bronchitis were the cause of death in more than one third of patients who died from pneumonectomy. The high incidence of bronchopleural complications in this group of patients is emphasized. Data are presented which provide evidence that the functions of external respiration and blood circulation are disturbed in patients with postoperative bronchitis. A complex of measures for the prevention and treatment of this complication are suggested, which made it possible to reduce the frequency and mortality rate of postoperative bronchitis in the last years.

Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.
Primary Symptoms of COPD:
Pneumothorax-II
Clinical Manifestations:
Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...
