Safety and Clinical Utility of Flexible Bronchoscopic Cryoextraction in Patients With Non-neoplasm Tracheobronchial Obstruction: A Retrospective Chart Review

Conclusions: We conclude that flexible bronchoscopic cryoprobe extraction of blood clots, mucous secretions, plastic bronchitis, and foreign bodies is a safe and effective option. It can be safely performed at the bedside and in many cases eliminates the need for rigid bronchoscopy.
