Objective:
To assess irradiation time, pain syndrome and safety of the proposed device and technique compared to conventional CT-assisted transthoracic biopsy.
Material And Methods:
CT-guided transthoracic trepanobiopsy of thoracic tumors was carried out in 296 patients between January 2017 and January 2020. There were 189 (63.8%) men and 107 (36.2%) women. Mean age of patients was 64.1±9.6 years (range 35-83). All patients were randomized into 2 groups by 148 people: group 1 - morphological verification via conventional CT-guided transthoracic trepanobiopsy, group 2 - morphological verification using a coaxial system and a specially developed CT-guided transthoracic trepanobiopsy.
Results:
Coaxial system with permanent anesthesia in CT-guided transthoracic manipulations reduces post-manipulation complications by 4-5%, get more qualitative morphological material (by 4%), reduces the time of procedure by 2 times and irradiation of patients by 27%, excludes irradiation of physicians and significantly reduces pain syndrome.

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...
