Assessment of Ergonomic Strain and Positioning During Bronchoscopic Procedures: A Feasibility Study
Conclusion: Poor ergonomic positioning and excessive muscle strain appear present within bronchoscopy procedures but may be improved in those with more bronchoscopy experience. Technological advances in bronchoscope design may also have the potential to improve procedural ergonomics. Additional prospective studies are warranted to define the long-term impact on bronchoscopic ergonomics. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Programmed Death Ligand 1 Testing of Endobronchial Ultrasound–guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration Samples Acquired For the Diagnosis and Staging of Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
Conclusion: PD-L1 testing was feasible in the majority of EBUS-TBNA samples acquired for the diagnosis and staging of NSCLC. Comparison of EBUS results with histologic samples revealed moderate concordance, with no false-negative results. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Physician Practice Patterns for Performing Thoracentesis in Patients Taking Anticoagulant Medications
Conclusion: There was variation in the practice patterns of attending physicians in performing thoracentesis in patients with elevated bleeding risk. Further data and guidelines regarding the safety of thoracentesis in these patients are needed. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Transbronchial Cryobiopsy in Interstitial Lung Disease: Safety of a Standardized Procedure
Conclusion: Pooled outcomes from Australian tertiary centers indicate that TBCB is safe when performed in a protocolized fashion. Active measures to anticipate and manage bleeding and to direct biopsy position result in low rates of major complications. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Bronchoscopy for Chronic Unexplained Cough: Use of Biopsies and Cultures Increase Diagnostic Yield
Conclusion: Inclusion of bronchial washings and endobronchial biopsies during bronchoscopy for chronic unexplained cough increased diagnostic yield from 28%, attributable to directly visualized anatomic etiologies, to 41%. The addition of microbiology cultures and pathology analysis significantly increased the diagnostic yield of bronchoscopy in identifying the potential etiology of chronic heretofore unexplained cough.

Diagnostic Utility and Safety of Endobronchial Ultrasound–guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration in the Elderly
Background: There is limited evidence regarding the effect of age on the specimen adequacy, positivity rate of specimen on cytology (PR), and safety of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA). The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of EBUS-TBNA in the elderly. Methods: This was a retrospective study of subjects who underwent EBUS-TBNA. We compare the specimen adequacy, PR, and the incidence of complications in the elderly (age 65 y and above) versus the younger subjects (age younger than 65 y). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identif...

Jet Ventilation Decreases Target Motion and Increases Yield of ENB Especially in Lesions With Negative Bronchus Sign
Conclusion: In patients without an airway, jet ventilation significantly decreased target displacement when compared with traditional ventilation (2 vs. 17 mm). In patients with direct airway to the lesion, jet ventilation did not significantly decrease target displacement when compared with the traditional approach.

Pleural Fluid Cytokine Levels at Baseline and Over Time are Associated With Time to IPC Removal: An Exploratory Study
Conclusion: This is the first study to evaluate longitudinal changes of pleural cytokine levels with respect to the likelihood of IPC removal and provide early evidence that the cytokine profile may be associated with the outcome of pleurodesis induced by IPCs. However, this is an exploratory study and further studies are needed to assess if these findings can be validated in further studies. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)
