  1. IN THE NAME OF GOD BRONCHOSCOPY Mehdi hadadzadeh, MD Cardiovascular surgeon University of yazd

  2. BACKGROUND • Allows direct visualization of the airways • Rigid and flexible instruments • Clinical tool • Airway anatomy • Airway sampling • Therapeutic • Research tool

  3. ORIGINS • Until the 1980’s, only rigid instruments were widely used • Multiple generations of adult and pediatric flexible bronchoscopes now • Widely used in adult and pediatric pulmonary medicine now

  4. RIGID BRONCHOSCOPY • Generally performed by ENT’s and surgeons • Procedure oriented • Foreign body removal • Biopsies • Granuloma/polyp removal • Laser • Stent placement • Visualization for future surgery

  5. INSTRUMENTS • Rigid bronchoscopes • Hollow metal tube • Glass rod telescope

  6. FLEXIBLE BRONCHOCSOPY • Examination of the entire respiratory anatomy, nose to bronchi • Able to pass through an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube

  7. Bronchoscopy

  8. INSTRUMENTS • Flexible instruments • Fiberoptic bronchoscopes • 2.2mm ultrathin • 2.8mm/1.2mm suction channel • 3.4mm/1.2mm suction channel • 4.4mm/2.0mm suction channel • 4.9mm/2.2mm suction channel • 5.9mm/3.0mm suction channel

  9. Fiberoptic bronchoscope 2.8mm diameter

  10. Pediatric videoscope 3.8mm diameter

  11. INDICATIONS • Atelectasis • Recurrent pneumonia • Chronic cough • Persistent/unexplained wheeze • Hemoptysis • Suspected airway compression/obstruction • Stridor • Upper airway obstruction • Suspected aspiration • Evaluation of tracheostomies

  12. TECHNIQUE

  13. TECHNIQUE • Anesthesia • Best accomplished in the operating room • May be performed bedside in an ICU setting • Continuous monitoring • Light anesthesia--allows continued spontaneous breathing • May be done with conscious sedation in older individuals

  14. TECHNIQUE • Insertion • Nasal • Endotracheal tube • Tracheostomy tube • Appropriate topical anesthesia and lubrication

  15. TECHNIQUE • Anatomical survey • Nasal passages • Pharynx • Larynx • Trachea • Bronchi • Examine all before any other procedures

  16. TECHNIQUE • Additional procedures • Bronchoalveolar lavage • Brushings • Bronchial biopsy • Transbronchial biopsy • Laser • Others: cryotherapy, stent placement, foreign body removal, needle biopsy

  17. BRONCHOALVEOLAR LAVAGE • Small aliquots of sterile normal saline instilled into the airway • Removed by suctioning • Samples distal bronchial and alveolar surfaces

  18. BRONCHOALVEOLAR LAVAGE

  19. Thoracoscopy insertion of an endoscope, a narrow-diameter tube with a viewing mirror or camera attachment, through a very small incision (cut) in the chest wall

  20. Thoracoscopy two or three small incisions in the chest wall, often between the ribs examine the pleura, lungs, and mediastinum to obtain tissue for testing purposes general anesthesia

  21. Indications assess lung cancer take a biopsy for study determine the cause of fluid in the chest cavity introduce medications or other treatments directly into the lungs treat accumulated fluid, pus (empyema), or blood in the space around the lungs

  22. Thoracoscopy

  23. The risks of thoracoscopy • Wound infection • Bleeding • Air leak through the lung wall, requiring a longer hospital stay • Pain or numbness at the incision site • Inflammation of the lungs (pneumonia)

  24. thoracoscopy v;s thoracotomy avoids many of the complications of open chest surgery reduces pain, hospital stay recovery time.

  25. Preparation • chest X-ray • electrocardiogram (if you are over age 35) • various blood tests • arterial blood gas • pulmonary function test • fast for 12 hours before the procedure. • General anesthesia • preparations for chest surgery

  26. Transthoracic Needle Biopsy to evaluate peripheral lung nodules or masses; hilar, mediastinal, and pleural abnormalities; and undiagnosed infiltrates or pneumonias when bronchoscopy is contraindicated or nondiagnostic

  27. diagnosis of cancer with > 95% accuracy. Needle biopsy yields an accurate diagnosis in benign processes only 50 to 60% of the time.

  28. Complications: • hemoptysis (10 to 25%) • pneumothorax (10 to 37%) • parenchymal hemorrhage • air embolism • subcutaneous emphysema.

  29. Mediastinoscopy surgical procedure to examine the inside of the upper chest between and in front of the lungs (mediastinum).

  30. replaced by other biopsy methods that use computed tomography (CT), echocardiography, or bronchoscopy to guide a biopsy needle to the abnormal tissue

  31. Indications • Detect problems of the lungs and mediastinum, such as sarcoidosis. • Diagnose lung cancer or lymphoma (including Hodgkin's disease). Mediastinoscopy is often done to check lymph nodes in the mediastinum before considering lung removal surgery to treat lung cancer. Mediastinoscopy can also help your doctor recommend the best treatment (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy) for lung cancer. • Diagnose certain types of infection, especially those that can affect the lungs (such as tuberculosis).

  32. limitations • previous mediastinoscopy or open-heart surgery • A history of neck problems or a neck injury • Any physical problems of chest(congenital). • Recently radiation therapy to the neck or chest.

  33. risks • puncturing the esophagus, trachea, or blood vessels . • In some circumstances, this can lead to potentially fatal bleeding.
