Despite recent advances in guided bronchoscopy, the yield of bronchoscopic biopsy a peripheral pulmonary nodule (PPN) remains highly variable.The aim study was to evaluate which features robotic assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) contribute successful cadaver model.A preclinical, prospective, single-blinded trial using ventilated human cadaveric model assessed puncture implanted nodules various localization techniques with RAB. The different approaches included positioning catheter at predefined...
Bronchoscopic lung biopsy is typically performed using transbronchial forceps. However, this method limited by small sample size and presence of crush artifact. Cryobiopsy offers the potential to overcome these limitations with larger artifact-free samples but has not been widely adopted due concerns over increased rates bleeding pneumothorax. A new, smaller 1.1-mm cryoprobe developed that operates in a similar fashion forceps, though safety profile yet prospectively studied.The aim study...
Background: Electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB) and robotic-assisted (RB) require a high degree of decision-making psychomotor skill. Cognitive load theory is the overall effort expended by individuals in response to task closely related usability devices for medical procedures. High cognitive workload leads poor surgical outcomes represents bottleneck learning that affects performance.Objective: To analyze associated with ENB RB experienced practitioners RB.Methods: Six...
Background: E-cigarette or vaping-use related acute lung injury (EVALI) is a spectrum of radiographic and histologic patterns consistent with to subacute injury. However, limited data exist characterizing bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) findings. The goal this study further define the pathologic findings from BAL biopsy samples subjects EVALI across 7 institutions. Methods: A multicentered registry patients admitted who underwent flexible bronchoscopy BAL+/−transbronchial July 2019 April 2021...
Introduction Patients with COVID-19 ARDS require significant amounts of sedation and analgesic medications which can lead to longer hospital/ICU length stay, delirium, has been associated increased mortality. Tracheostomy shown decrease the amount sedative, anxiolytic given patients. The goal this study was assess whether tracheostomy decreased medication usage, improved markers activity level cognitive function, clinical outcomes in patients ARDS. Study Design Methods A retrospective...
Background: There is an association between certain social determinants of health (SDOH) and adverse cancer outcomes. These include Black race low-income, which are associated with poorer adherence to lung screening presentation at a later stage disease. Methods We conducted retrospective review all patients diagnosis single urban, academic center from 2015 – 2021. Demographic data including clinical time taken progress through various checkpoints (i.e. CT scan diagnosis, treatment) were...
Low-dose computed tomography screening for lung cancer has led to the increased detection of peripheral pulmonary nodules (PPN). Bronchoscopic modalities PPN biopsy (ultrathin bronchoscope, radial endobronchial ultrasound, electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy) have not consistently shown diagnostic yields as high ultrasound- or tomography-guided transthoracic needle aspiration surgical biopsy. Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy gained US Food and Drug Administration approval in 2018 2019,...
<b>Introduction:</b> Transbronchial forceps (FBx) is the standard tool used for lung biopsy during bronchoscopy. However, diagnostic capability of FBx limited by poor specimen quality due to small size and crush artifact. Cryoprobe (CBx) offers larger higher quality, however, there concern over an increased risk profile with CBx. <b>Objectives:</b> This study aims evaluate a novel 1.1mm sheath cryoprobe, hypothesizing complication rates CBx will be similar FBx. <b>Methods:</b> multicenter,...
