Transbronchial Forceps Biopsy in the Intensive Care Unit: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusion: The results of this meta-analysis suggest that a transbronchial forceps biopsy when performed in mechanically ventilated patients with respiratory failure of unclear etiology had a moderate complication rate. These biopsies resulted in varied diagnoses with a high rate of management change. Randomized controlled trials are necessary to identify the ideal patients to perform a transbronchial forceps biopsy on in the intensive care unit.

Safety and Efficacy of Manual Aspiration Via Small Bore Chest Tube in Facilitating the Outpatient Management of Transbronchial Biopsy-related Iatrogenic Pneumothorax
Conclusion: MA via SBCT represents a safe and viable management approach of TBBX-IP promoting earlier SBCT removal and decreased hospitalizations. Our results challenge conventional management of TBBX-IP warranting further investigation. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Cone-beam CT and Augmented Fluoroscopy–guided Navigation Bronchoscopy: Radiation Exposure and Diagnostic Accuracy Learning Curves
Conclusion: A significant learning effect can be seen in the radiation safety and diagnostic accuracy of a CBCT-guided and augmented fluoroscopy–guided navigation bronchoscopy. With increasing experience and tailoring of imaging protocols to the procedure, the procedural accuracy improved, while the effective dose for patients and staff was reduced.

Diagnostic Yield of Digital Tomosynthesis-assisted Navigational Bronchoscopy for Indeterminate Lung Nodules
Conclusion: This retrospective study suggests the diagnostic yield of F-ENB may exceed that of traditional ENB. Future prospective and comparative studies are needed to confirm these promising data. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Feasibility of Using the O-Arm Imaging System During ENB-rEBUS–guided Peripheral Lung Biopsy: A Dual-center Experience
Conclusion: We have demonstrated the O-arm’s feasibility with electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy for peripheral lung nodules. The O-arm was able to confirm tool-in-lesion in all cases which added confidence to the biopsy. Four high-resolution 3D spins per case may limit the total computed tomography effective dose. We also noted that both metal and radiation scatter were minimal when appropriate radiation safety standards were met. Although additional experience and data will be required to verify the O-arm approach for routine use, our initial experience is promising.
