But CT and bronchoscopic techniques are really taking the lead. ❋ Unknown (2005)
Acute pulmonary abscess from other causes may require bronchoscopic drainage and gentle dilatation of the swollen and narrowed bronchi leading to it. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
It is essential that the bronchoscopic studies be made, as were these, without anesthesia, local or general, for it is known that the application of cocain or adrenalin to the larynx, or even in the nose, will, with some patients, stop the attack. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
Cure has resulted in one case of the author following bronchoscopic removal of an endothelioma from the bronchus; and a limited carcinoma of the bronchus has been reported cured by bronchoscopic removal, with cauterization of the base. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
With the bronchoscopic lip and the forceps or other instrument inserted through the tube, the bronchoscopist has bimanual, eye-guided control, which if it has been sufficiently practiced to afford the facility in coordinate use common to everyone with knife and fork, will accomplish maneuvers that seem marvelous to anyone who has not developed facility in this coordinate use of the bronchoscopic instruments. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
Endotracheal and endobronchial malignancy ulcerate early, and are characterized by the bronchoscopic view of a bleeding mass of fungating tissue bathed in pus and secretion, usually foul. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
-- Roentgenogram showing the author's method of bronchial mapping or lung-mapping by the bronchoscopic introduction of opaque substances (in this instance powdered bismuth subnitrate) into the lung of the patient. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
Chronic lung-abscess is often successfully treated by weekly bronchoscopic lavage with 20 cc. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
Many lives have been saved by the bronchoscopic removal of membrane obstructing the trachea or bronchi. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
The next step is to put a duplicate of the foreign body into the rubber-tube manikin previously referred to, and try to simulate the probable position shown by the ray, so as to get an idea of the bronchoscopic appearance of the probable presentation. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
-- In most cases of bronchiectasis there are strong indications for a bronchoscopic diagnosis, to eliminate such conditions as foreign body, cicatricial bronchial stenosis, or endobronchial neoplasm as etiologic factors. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
_Bronchial asthma_ affords a large field for bronchoscopic study. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
The limitations of bronchoscopic removal of foreign bodies are usually manifested in the failure to find a small foreign body which has entered a minute bronchus far down and out toward the periphery. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
-- Robinson mechanical aspirator adapted for bronchoscopic and esophagoscopic aspiration by the author. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
A bronchoscopic clinic should at all times be in the same state of preparedness for emergency as is everywhere required of a fire-engine house. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
_Lung-mapping_ by a roentgenogram taken promptly after the bronchoscopic insufflation of bismuth subnitrate powder or the injection of a suspension of bismuth in liquid petrolatum is advisable in most cases of pulmonary abscess before beginning any kind of treatment. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
For this reason secretions hiding a foreign body should be removed with the aspirating tube (Fig. 9) rather than by swabbing or sponge-pumping, when the bronchoscopic tube-mouth is close to the foreign body. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
The pulmotor and similar mechanisms are, perhaps, the best things the use of which can be taught to laymen; but as compared to bronchoscopic oxygen insufflation they are woefully inefficient, because the intraoral pressure forces the tongue back over the laryngeal orifice, obstructing the airway in this "death zone." ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
A silk woven catheter may be used with an ordinary glass syringe or a long-nozzled laryngeal syringe, or a bronchoscopic syringe may be used. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
It is probable that if bronchoscopic study were carried out in every case, definite causes for many so-called "idiopathic" cases would be discovered. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
