Risk factors of anesthesia and surgery in bleomycin-treated patients
Abstract:
The use of bleomycin as part of preoperative chemotherapy regimens for nonseminomatous germ cell tumors of the testis has gained increased acceptance. However, recent experience has suggested that patients so treated are at an increased risk of developing postoperative respiratory distress syndrome. The most clearly associated factor seems to be the fractional concentration of inspired oxygen intraoperatively and in the immediate postoperative period. Based on our experience and a review of the limited published reports, we recommend careful monitoring of fractional inspired oxygen and maintenance of the lowest tolerated oxygen concentration during this period.

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...
