Vipul Sharma, Harika Atluri
Tracheal and subglottic stenoses are inflammatory conditions that can arise from a variety of potential etiologies, most commonly as a result of iatrogenic airway injury due to endotracheal intubation. Significant stenosis requires management by endoscopy or surgical resection. We describe a case of recurrent subglottic cuff stenosis with an episode of sudden desaturation in a 25-year-old female. The management involved balloon dilatation, laser ablation, and topical mitomycin C application through a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope...

BACKGROUND: While awake, flexible bronchoscopic intubation has long been considered the gold standard for managing anticipated difficult airways, the videolaryngoscope has emerged as a viable alternative. In addition, the decision to perform awake intubation or to proceed with airway management after induction of general anesthesia should be grounded in a comprehensive assessment of risks and benefits. CASE PRESENTATION: A 41-year old female patient was scheduled for excision of bilateral, mobile, and pedunculated masses on both aryepiglottic folds, which covered almost the entire upper part of the glottis...

Temporomandibular joint ankylosis cases serve as a challenge for both surgeons and anesthesiologists possibly due to the unavailability of resources in remote locations. Distressing issues brought on by its ankylosis include functional as well as esthetic issues such as considerable difficulties in managing the airway, especially in children because of the physiology and structure of their airways being different. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) has a well-established role in patients with difficult airways, but it is especially challenging in pediatric patients because of their lack of cooperation and diminished lung reserve...

Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) with flexible bronchoscope represents an encouraging modality to obtain a larger size specimen without crush artifact, and a higher diagnostic yield in patients with diffuse parenchymal lung lesions/diseases as compared to conventional transbronchial lung biopsy, and fewer complications as opposed to surgical lung biopsy. Artificial airway is preferred as it provides better airway protection in cases of severe bleeding. Although various researchers have published data on different modalities, the data is not sufficient to standardize a single technique...

Obstructive fibrinous tracheal pseudomembrane (OFTP) is a relatively rare complication of endotracheal intubation. Despite being well documented, the exact pathogenesis of OFTP remains unclear. Some studies suggest that it may arise from the early stage of ischemic tracheal wall injury caused by the cuff pressure during intubation. Diagnosis and treatment of OFTP can be facilitated through therapeutic bronchoscopy. In this case report, we describe a patient who presented with dyspnea following repeated intratracheal interventions and was diagnosed with OFTP...

Hirayama disease is a rare neurological disorder, characterized by muscular atrophy of the distal upper extremities. The occurrence of spastic quadriparesis and autonomic dysfunction is rarely reported and has important perioperative considerations during cervical spine surgery for the treatment of this disorder. The role of the anesthesiologist is vital in the thorough assessment of the patient for the involvement of the pyramidal tract, autonomic dysfunction, gastroparesis, hyperreactive airway disease, and documentation of neurological deficits...

INTRODUCTION: Benign airway stenosis (BAS) is a severe pathologic condition. Complex stenosis has a high recurrence rate and requires repeated bronchoscopic interventions for achieving optimal control, leading to recurrent BAS (RBAS) due to intraluminal granulation. METHODS: This study explored the potential of autologous regenerative factor (ARF) for treating RBAS using a post-intubation tracheal stenosis canine model. Bronchoscopic follow-ups were conducted, and RNA-seq analysis of airway tissue was performed...

INTRODUCTION: Benign tracheobronchial stenosis is a abnormal tracheal lumen narrowing that may incur progressive dyspnea and life-threatening hypoxemia. There is no consensus on which patients should be treated with endoscopic or surgical method. This study investigates the outcomes of bronchoscopic dilatation in the treatment of benign tracheal stenosis using a device equipped with a blade to cut the stenotic lesions with dense fibrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The procedure was carried out in an operating room under general anesthesia...

OBJECTIVE: Pneumonia, both in the community and the hospital setting, represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the cardiothoracic patient population. Diagnosis of pneumonia can be masked by other disease processes and is often diagnosed after the patient is already experiencing the disease. A noninvasive, sensitive test for pneumonia could decrease hospitalizations and length of stay for patients. We have developed a porcine model of pneumonia and evaluated the exhaled breath of infected pigs for biomarkers of infection...

BACKGROUND: Massive hemoptysis during pregnancy is very rare. Dieulafoy's disease is one of the causes of massive hemoptysis. There are few reports of ECMO use to treat massive hemoptysis during pregnancy. FINDINGS: We report for the first time a patient with Dieulafoy's disease diagnosed at 29 weeks of pregnancy. The patient's hemoptysis occurred rapidly with large volumes. The bleeding amount reached 500 ml within half an hour, with the development of asphyxia and respiratory and cardiac arrest due to a blood clot blocking the airway...

Meningoencephalocele is a rare congenital midline defect of cranial bone fusion characterized by herniation of the brain and meninges through the skull. In addition to the challenges of managing a major neurosurgical procedure in a pediatric patient, airway management in this group of patients requires advanced skills, and a difficult airway should be anticipated from the start. Since awake intubation is not an option in most pediatric cases with airway anatomy abnormalities and maintaining an adequate seal with a pediatric face mask is often impossible, airway management in patients with these lesions is highly challenging...

Cryoprobes inserted through a bronchoscope in the airways have frequently been used for the removal of foreign bodies and clots. We present a case of a 72-year-old man who presented with COVID-19 pneumonia and respiratory failure, requiring intubation and proning. During his stay, he developed pneumothoraces in the left hemithorax, which necessitated the placement of two large-bore chest tubes. However, the pneumothorax recurred. There was no air leak in either chest tube, and attempts to restore their patency through flushing or suctioning were unsuccessful...
