Rationale: This is the first multicenter randomized controlled trial to evaluate effectiveness and safety of Zephyr Endobronchial Valve (EBV) in patients with little no collateral ventilation out 12 months.Objectives: To EBV heterogeneous emphysema treated lobe.Methods: Subjects were enrolled a 2:1 randomization (EBV/standard care [SoC]) at 24 sites. Primary outcome months was ΔEBV–SoC subjects post-bronchodilator FEV1 improvement from baseline greater than or equal 15%. Secondary endpoints...
The diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL) continues to present clinical challenges. Despite extensive experience with guided bronchoscopy, the diagnostic yield has not improved significantly. Robotic-assisted bronchoscopic platforms have been developed potentially improve for PPL. Presently, limited data exist that evaluate performance robotic systems in live human subjects.What is safety and feasibility robotic-assisted bronchoscopy patients PPLs?This was a prospective,...
Advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy targeting the lung periphery has developed at an accelerated pace over last two decades, whereas evidence to support introduction of innovative technologies been variable and deficient. A major gap relates reporting yield, in addition limited comparative studies.
Context.— The need for appropriate specimen use ancillary testing has become more commonplace in the practice of pathology. This, coupled with improvements technology, often provides less invasive methods testing, but presents new challenges to collection and handling these small specimens, including thoracic biopsy cytology samples. Objective.— To develop a clinical guideline recommendations on how obtain, handle, process tissue specimens diagnostic studies. Methods.— College American...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Bronchoscopy for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions continues to present clinical challenges, despite increasing experience using newer guided techniques. Robotic bronchoscopic platforms have been developed potentially improve diagnostic yields. Previous studies in cadaver models demonstrated increased reach into lung periphery robotic systems compared similarly sized conventional bronchoscopes, although impact additional is...
With complex, lengthy bronchoscopies, there is a need for safe, effective sedation. Most bronchoscopists strive moderate sedation, though often difficult without compromising vital signs. The Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness and Sedation (MOAA/S) scale validated 6-point assessing responsiveness patients coinciding with the American Society Anesthesiologists (ASA) continuum It commonly used in studying bronchoscopic but depth sedation by MOAA/S correlation signs adverse events has...
Introduction The presence of intrathoracic lymphadenopathy and mediastinal masses in the pediatric population often presents a diagnostic challenge. With limited minimally invasive methodologies to obtain diagnosis, sampling via mediastinoscopy or thoracotomy is pursued. Endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) invasive, outpatient procedure that has demonstrated significant success adult evaluation such abnormalities. Within literature there data regarding use...
Rationale: Strict adherence to procedural protocols and diagnostic definitions is critical understand the efficacy of new technologies. Electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB) for lung nodule biopsy has been used decades without a solid understanding its efficacy, but offers opportunity simultaneous tissue acquisition via electromagnetic transthoracic (EMN-TTNA) staging endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). Objective: To evaluate yield EBUS, ENB, EMN-TTNA during single procedure using...
Background: In the United States, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) fellowship training traditionally requires performing a minimum number of bronchoscopy pleural procedures to be deemed competent. However, expert panel recommendations favor assessments based on skill knowledge. PCCM trainees have variable exposure advanced in presence interventional pulmonary (IP) fellowships, so we surveyed program directors (PD) across States assess procedural volume competency their fellows....
