Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

263
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

61
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...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

469
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes01:28

Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes

1.0K
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening into the trachea, typically at the second or third cartilaginous ring level. This opening allows the insertion of a tracheostomy tube, which can replace an endotracheal tube, provide mechanical ventilation, bypass an upper airway obstruction, or remove accumulated tracheobronchial secretions.
Tracheostomy tubes can be made of semiflexible plastic (polyurethane or silicone), rigid plastic, or metal, and they come in...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

82
Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

Oxygen Delivering System III: Tracheostomy and T-piece

2.1K
Oxygen delivery is critical in clinical care, especially for patients with respiratory disorders or those undergoing surgical procedures. Various systems, such as tracheostomy and the T-piece, deliver oxygen to the lungs, ensuring adequate arterial oxygenation.
Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...

Summary

Dedicated teams enhance rigid bronchoscopy (RB) care. Multidisciplinary teams improve complication management, while anesthesiology support reduces adverse events during RB procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Anesthesiology
  • Medical Practice Management

Background:

  • Current guidelines for anesthesia and staff support during rigid bronchoscopy (RB) are lacking.
  • Understanding current practice patterns is crucial for developing best practice recommendations for RB.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify current practice patterns for rigid bronchoscopy (RB) related to anesthesia and multidisciplinary team support.
  • To inform potential best practice recommendations for intra- and post-procedural care during RB.

Main Methods:

  • A 33-question survey was developed to assess RB practice patterns.
  • The survey was distributed to members of the American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology and the American College of Chest Physicians Interventional Chest Diagnostic Procedures Network.

Main Results:

  • A dedicated interventional pulmonology (IP) suite correlated with multidisciplinary RB teams and better complication management algorithms.
  • Dedicated anesthesiology teams were linked to increased use of high-frequency jet ventilation, laryngeal mask airways post-extubation, and fewer anesthesia-related adverse effects.
  • While total intravenous anesthesia was common (94.29%), ventilation modes and muscle relaxant use varied significantly. Dedicated teams improved comfort for both anesthesiologists and interventional pulmonologists.

Conclusions:

  • Interventional bronchoscopists recognize the value of dedicated support services for RB.
  • Multidisciplinary teams are more likely to adopt protocols for managing intraprocedural complications during RB.
  • There is no consensus on preferred ventilation modes for RB, suggesting a need for further research.
