Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) is commonly performed by respiratory physicians for diagnostic as well therapeutic purposes. However, practices vary widely across India and worldwide. The three major organizations of the country supported a national-level expert group that formulated comprehensive guideline document FB based on detailed appraisal available evidence. These guidelines are an attempt to provide bronchoscopist with most scientifically sound practical approach bronchoscopy. It...
Over the past decade, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has become an indispensable tool in diagnostic armamentarium of pulmonologist. As expertise with EBUS-TBNA evolved and several innovations have occurred, indications for its use expanded. However, aspects are still not standardized. Hence, evidence-based guidelines needed to optimize yield safety EBUS-TBNA. For this purpose, a working group experts from India was constituted. A detailed...
Pleural effusion is a common problem in our country, and most of these patients need invasive tests as they can’t be evaluated by blood alone. The simplest them diagnostic pleural aspiration, techniques such medical thoracoscopy are being performed more frequently than ever before. However, physicians India treat empirically, leading to delays diagnosis, misdiagnosis complications from wrong treatments. This situation must change, the adoption evidence-based protocols urgently needed....
To assess the efficacy and safety of combination N-acetylcysteine acebrophylline (Combination named Abiways), in patients with moderate to severe COPD Asthma. In this non-randomized, interventional, prospective, single-arm, post-marketing surveillance study, participants were administered Abiways as an add-on therapy for 90 days. The primary endpoint was Quality Life, evaluated using Assessment Test (CAT) Asthma Control (ACT) questionnaires. Secondary endpoints included mean FEV1 FVC...
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a complex and heterogeneous group of acute chronic diseases several known unknown causes. While clinical practice guidelines (CPG) for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have been recently updated, CPG ILD other than IPF are needed.
To the Editor: Hemoptysis is defined as spitting up of blood derived from lungs or bronchial tubes a result pulmonary hemorrhage.1 Mild, moderate, and severe hemoptysis are streaking to <30 mL bleeding, 30 200 mL, >200 per given 24 hours, respectively. We have large base patients with various etiologies, who do not respond conservative management including use cough suppressants, antibiotics, hemostasis, anxiolytics. In developing country like India, facilities perform artery embolizations...
During the times of ongoing COVID pandemic, aerosol-generating procedures such as bronchoscopy have potential transmission severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 to healthcare workers. The decision perform during pandemic should be taken judiciously. Over years, indications for in clinical practice expanded. Experts at Indian Association Bronchology perceived need develop a concise statement that would assist bronchoscopist performing safely. current Consensus Statement provides...
Urinothorax (UT) is a rare and often undiagnosed condition, defined as the presence of urine in pleural cavity due to retroperitoneal leakage (known urinoma) into space. It cause effusion secondary traumatic or obstructive reasons. UT usually transudate effusion. Its diagnosis requires high degree clinical suspicion, because respiratory symptoms tend be absent mild urological signs dominate. Thoracocentesis followed by measurement creatinine fluid procedure establish true diagnosis. The...
Sir, Pleural manometry is the technique to measure pleural pressure either with water manometer or digital manometer. Under normal conditions, there a thin film of fluid in space. The secreted from parietal pleura as it supplied by systemic vessels and high-pressure system absorbed visceral pulmonary vessels, which operate at lower pressures. It also lymphatics pleurae, covering diaphragms mediastinal region. Total volume 0.26 ± 0.1/ml/kg cell counts 1500-2000/ml, macrophages 75%,...
ABSTRACT Medical Thoracoscopy (MT) is commonly performed by respiratory physicians for diagnostic as well therapeutic purposes. The aim of the study was to provide evidence-based information regarding all aspects MT, both a tool and aid pulmonologists across India. consensus-based guidelines were formulated based on multistep process using set 31 questions. A systematic search published randomized controlled clinical trials, open labelled studies, case reports from electronic databases, like...

Background:The gold standard for pulmonary artery pressure measurement is right heart catheterization.The present study was conducted to assess the clinical value of RPAD index in dogs with varying degrees hypertension.Subjects and Methods: The on 40 dogs.Dogs were divided four groups according TRPG (<36 mmHg, 36-50 51-75 or >75 mmHg).In all dogs, presence signs commonly associated PH recorded.Results: Out male 25 female 15.Common features coughing 24, tachypnea 11, weakness 18, dyspnea 27,...
Fibreoptic bronchoscopic biopsy specimens traditionally suffer the disadvantage of recovering small specimens.The determination histopathological cell type and stage primary lung carcinoma is paramount importance, especially if these are diagnosed at I II, so that can be surgically removed patient cured.Now-a-days, use endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided getting well established.The radial probe EBUS allows for evaluation central airways, accurate definition airway invasion, facilitates...
Endobronchial capillary hemangioma is a very rare benign tumor in adults. The clinical presentation and management of adult hemangiomas involving the tracheobronchial tree are not yet established. We present case an isolated right main bronchus detected during evaluation male presented with hemoptysis.
