A 58-year-old female with a history of recurrent pneumonia was evaluated for fevers, right lower back pain, and hematuria. A noncontrast abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed air and fluid-filled area in the right lower lobe for which a contrast-enhanced CT chest was performed. The CT of the chest revealed the cystic mass was supplied by an anomalous artery from the descending aorta. The patient was then diagnosed with a superinfected bronchopulmonary sequestration which was treated with surgical resection. (Source: Lung India)

Anesthetic considerations for bronchial thermoplasty in patients of severe asthma: A case series
We report our experience for perioperative anesthetic management of patients scheduled for BT. Three patients with severe asthma were planned for BT under general anesthesia. After standard monitoring and intravenous cannula insertion, anesthesia was induced with propofol, fentanyl, and rocuronium after preoxygenation and maintained with propofol target-controlled infusion. The ventilation was controlled mechanically with I-gel used for airway management. The oxygen concentration was titrated to 40% or less at the time of thermal activation delivery. The procedure was performed using a thin bronchoscope inserted...

Vaping associated lung injury (EVALI) as an organizing pneumonia pattern- A case report
We report a case of a 43-year-old female patient, who presented with productive cough and an organizing pneumonia pattern on computed tomography (CT) scan. Recognizing the various CT scan patterns of vaping-associated lung injury is important to make a diagnosis because the cessation of vaping is an important step in the treatment. (Source: Lung India)

Bronchoscopic interventions for emphysema: Current status
Ran Wang, Suman Paul, Vi Truong, Mohammed MunavvarLung India 2020 37(6):518-529
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a prevalent and progressive disease. The recently developed bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) techniques offer personalized therapeutic options in subgroups of patients with severe emphysema. Endobronchial and intrabronchial valves (EBV/IBV) achieve lung volume reduction by lobar atelectasis. The lung volume reduction coils (LVRCs) and bronchoscopic thermal vapor ablation (BTVA) induce tissue compression, either mechanically or through inflammatory processes. While the effects of EBV/IBV are re...

Use of thopaz in patients of empyema thoracis undergoing decortication
Conclusions: Patients with empyema thoracis undergoing open decortications when managed with digital chest drainage system (Thopaz) experienced faster reduction in air leak, a shorter duration of chest tube placement and in hospital stay. Thopaz usage is also associated with reduction in rate of postoperative complications. We recommend that this digital chest tube drainage system is a very useful tool in armamentarium of thoracic surgeon after lung surgeries. (Source: Lung India)
