Improving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Survival in COVID-19. Effect of a Bundle of Care
Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our program changed the model of care pursuing to protect the multidisciplinary team from the risk of infection and to serve as many patients as possible. Patient–healthcare interactions were restricted, and the ECMO bed capacity was increased by reducing the ECMO specialist–patient ratio to 1:4 with non-ECMO trained nurses support. The outcomes worsened and we paused while we evaluated and modified our model of care. The ECMO bed capacity was reduced to allow a nurse ECMO–specialist nurse ratio 2:1 with an ECMO traine...

Portable fibrobronchoscopic treatment for non-severe ischemic stroke-associated pneumonia patients with dysphagia: a pilot study.
CONCLUSION: Sputum suction and alveolar lavage with portable fibrobronchoscope can significantly improve the hypoxia and pulmonary infections, reduce the inflammatory response, and thus improve the prognosis, rendering suction and alveolar lavage with portable fibrobronchoscope as a safe and effective treatment for non-severe ischemic SAP patients with dysphagia.

Tracheostomy decannulation of patients with brain injury guided by flexible bronchoscope.
Conclusions: Safe patient care requires that various medical departments keep pace with the development of different specialities. To ensure early rehabilitation of patients with severe brain injury having tracheostomy, safe treatment and, if possible, decannulation should be performed. This procedure requires the involvement of a physician with bronchoscopy skills as well as the development of local protocols. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(28), 1108-1112.

‘A clear case of chronic aspiration of starch (potato)’
In June 2011 a 74 years old‐non smoker woman came to our attention complaining for months dyspnea and dry cough resistant to nonspecific antibiotic therapy (amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and levofloxacin, prescribed by her physician, for 10 days). She had no history of respiratory diseases; she had instead history of cerebri stroke (in March 2006), without neurological outcome, and throat cancer treated with radiotherapy 10 years before. When she came to our attention, physical examination showed dry crackles bilaterally in the lower lung fields. Pulmonary function test showed a mild restrictive respiratory pattern while t...
