Dual Airway and Esophageal Stenting in Advanced Esophageal Cancer With Lesions Near Carina
Background: Tracheobronchial stenting either alone or with esophageal stenting is often required for symptom palliation in obstructive or fistulous lesions of the airway due to esophageal cancer. There is limited evidence regarding dual stenting for lesions near the carina due to esophageal cancer. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the technical feasibility, outcomes, and complications of preplanned dual stenting in these patients. Methods: This is a prospective observational study carried out over a period of 4 years (January 2015 to July 2019). All patients undergoing dual stenting in the airway and esophagus with ...

Learning Gain and Skill Retention Following Unstructured Bronchoscopy Simulation in a Low-fidelity Airway Model
Background: Simulation is invaluable for bronchoscopy training. Studies report improved procedure time, dexterity/technique, and trainee satisfaction supported by low-fidelity and high-fidelity simulators in structured-training programs. We sought to determine (1) Learning-gain in bronchoscopic dexterity after a single 45-minute unstructured exposure using a low-fidelity simulator. (2) Whether acquired skills are maintained 8 weeks later, during which trainees receive no interim exposure to simulation or clinical bronchoscopy. Methods: Using a low-fidelity model, medical students were assessed for bronchoscopicdexteri...

Utility and Safety of Airway Stenting in Distal Airways Stenosis After Lung Transplant
Conclusion: Patients with DAS phenotypes that were treated with endobronchial stenting did not require less airway intervention or have greater final airway patency compared with the nonstented airways. Among the stented patients, the need for airway manipulation did not decrease after stent placement. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Is Additional Nebulized Lidocaine Helpful in Flexible Bronchoscopy?: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: Additional administration of nebulized lidocaine increased the total dose of lidocaine used and did not improve cough symptoms, operator-satisfaction score, ease of the procedure, and willingness to repeat the procedure. Subgroup analysis of studies using moderate sedation showed a decrease in midazolam use and in procedure duration but the clinical significance of these findings is uncertain.

High-flow Nasal Oxygen Versus Standard Oxygen During Flexible Bronchoscopy in Lung Transplant Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Diagnostic and interventional flexible bronchoscopy (FB) is increasingly utilized in complex and high-risk patients. Patients are often sedated for comfort and procedure facilitation and hypoxia is commonly observed in this setting. We hypothesized that high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) would reduce the incidence of patients experiencing oxygen desaturation. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, postlung transplant patients booked for FB with transbronchial lung biopsy were assigned to either HFNO or low-flow nasal oxygen (LFNO). The patient and bronchoscopist were blinded to group allocation. The prim...

The Incidence of Hemorrhagic Complications Was Lower With the Guide Sheath Than With the Conventional Forceps Biopsy Method: Results of Bronchoscopy in the 2016 Nationwide Survey by the Japan Society for Respiratory Endoscopy
Background: The Japan Society for Respiratory Endoscopy performed a nationwide survey to evaluate the current status and complications of bronchoscopy. Data on deaths due to bronchoscopy, complications after bronchoscopy, and particularly, complications of forceps biopsy were surveyed. Methods: The survey form was mailed to 532 facilities accredited by the society. The numbers of procedures, complications, and deaths were investigated. Results: The response rate was 79.1% (421 facilities). Deaths attributable to diagnostic bronchoscopy occurred in 11 (0.011%) of 98,497 cases. In regards to forceps biopsy, the guid...

Characterization of Applied Forces and Torques During Rigid Bronchoscopy Intubation
Conclusion: This was the first application of a rigid bronchoscope measurement device designed to measure forces applied at the handle. Force and torque discrepancies between manikin training and patient applications were found, indicating a possible mismatch between the haptic feedback received by physicians during rigid training and application. This inconsistency could be resolved via novel haptic training modalities and help increase atraumatic intubations. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

AABIP Evidence-informed Guidelines and Expert Panel Report for the Management of Indwelling Pleural Catheters
Conclusion: This manuscript was developed to provide clinicians with guidance on the management of patients with indwelling pleural catheters placed for palliation of malignant pleural effusions. Through a systematic and rigorous process, management suggestions were developed based on the best available evidence with augmentation by expert opinion when necessary. In addition, these guidelines highlight important gaps in knowledge which require further study. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)
