Area of Science:

  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Pulmonology
  • Interventional Pulmonology

Context:

  • Intensive care units (ICUs) require effective diagnostic and therapeutic tools for critically ill patients.
  • Bedside procedures are crucial for managing patients with limited mobility or instability.
  • Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is a key endoscopic technique in respiratory care.

Purpose:

  • To retrospectively analyze the indications, outcomes, and impact of bedside fiberoptic bronchoscopies in the ICU.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this procedure in a critically ill population.
  • To determine the role of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in guiding patient management and treatment.

Summary:

  • Analysis of 161 bedside fiberoptic bronchoscopies revealed immediate patient improvement in 35.4% of cases.
  • The procedure contributed to appropriate treatment selection in 31.6% of patients.
  • A single serious complication was reported, highlighting the method's safety profile.

Impact:

  • Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is an indispensable tool for airway assessment and intervention in critically ill patients.
  • The findings support the routine use of this procedure for diagnosis and therapy in ICUs.
  • This study underscores the value of minimally invasive endoscopic techniques in critical care settings.
