the correlation between the %CSA<5 and the radionuclide uptake rate visualized by pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy.Results: The %CSA<5 in the obstructed side of the lung after treatment displayed significant improvements after intervention (p = 0.04). Among the 5 cases that underwent pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy before and after the treatment, the radionuclide uptake rate of the obstructed side improved in all patients, whereas the %CSA<5 improved in 4 of the 5 patients.Conclusion: Measurement of the %CSA<5 might be useful to assess the outcome of interventional bronchoscopy.
AP384Background and Aim: The diagnostic bronchoscopy in acute hypoxemic patients might result in profound hypoxemia requiring intubation. We aimed to study the effectiveness of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) compared with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in those patients requiring the diagnostic bronchoscopy. The primary end point was the lowest oxygen saturation during the procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
