Anesthesia for Bronchoscopy

Abstract: Bronchoscopic procedures are at times intricate and the patients often very ill. These factors and an airway shared with the pulmonologist present a clear challenge to anesthesiologists. The key to success lies in the understanding of both the underlying pathology and procedure being performed combined with frequent two-way communication between the anesthesiologist and the pulmonologist. Above all, vigilance and preparedness are paramount. Topics discussed in this review include anesthesia for advanced diagno… Show more

“…This level of gas leak is worse with rigid bronchoscope than flexible bronchoscopy. When TIVA is used, the integrity of intravenous access should be monitored closely and the Bispectral index monitor is routinely used to monitor the depth of anesthesia (9,10).…”

“…Otro aspecto controvertido que es común a todos los procedimientos mínimamente invasivos (implantación de válvulas cardíacas transcatéter, toma de biopsias transbronquiales o a través del tracto digestivo, implantación de stents en vía aérea o colangiopancreatografías retrógradas endoscópi-cas entre otras), y a la cual no es ajena esta técnica, es la conveniencia de realizar los procedimientos en salas con organización orientada a procedimientos médicos (endoscópicos, hemodinámicos, fibrobroncoscópicos) en quirófanos, o en salas híbridas 5 . Probablemente una sala híbrida puede satisfacer las necesidades de los especialistas implicados, aunque suele imponerse una flexibilidad adaptada a la infraestructura y disponibilidad de cada centro.…”

“…It is common for patients with less co-morbidities to be managed effectively using conscious sedation during these procedures, which can even be administered/directed by the interventionalist. However, many US and European medical centers have made it standard practice to have an anesthesiologist provide either sedation or general anesthesia to selected high risk patients undergoing IP procedures to safely manage them [3, 4].…”
