Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

685
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: 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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

613
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Otolaryngology
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Foreign body aspiration in children presents varied challenges for otolaryngologists.
  • While mortality is low (1%), prompt diagnosis and management are vital.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the characteristics and outcomes of pediatric airway foreign body cases.
  • To identify common foreign bodies, their locations, and associated symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 70 pediatric patients undergoing rigid bronchoscopy from 2012-2017.
  • Data collected on patient demographics, history, symptoms, foreign body type, and location.

Main Results:

  • Most common in children aged 6 months to 3 years; males more affected (70%).
  • Organic foreign bodies (76.36%) were more prevalent than inorganic ones.
  • Right main bronchus (49.09%) was the most common impaction site, followed by the left main bronchus and trachea.

Conclusions:

  • Despite low mortality, collaborative efforts between otolaryngologists, pediatricians, and radiologists are essential.
  • Vigilant management, including a "second look" during bronchoscopy, is recommended.
  • Prompt referral, early diagnosis, and vigilant care are life-saving steps.
