Endobronchial foreign body removal using fiberoptic bronchoscope together with gastroscope biopsy forceps

Abstract

Rationale:There are many difficult cases in the clinic because of the diversity of foreign bodies. The removal of a syringe cap is not so easy because there is always no hole at the closed end.Patient concerns:A 54-year-old man suddenly developed dyspnea during his treatment in the hospital.Diagnoses:Foreign body in the left main bronchus.Interventions:The foreign body was removed using fiberoptic bronchoscope together with gastroscope biopsy forceps.Outcomes:A repeat CT showed well inflation of left lung.Lessons:The combined use of gastroscope biopsy forceps in trachea is more conducive to remove a foreign body similar to a syringe cap.

Efficacy of Analgesic Propofol/Esketamine and Propofol/Fentanyl for Painless Induced Abortion: A Randomized Clinical Trial

“…When esketamine is used as a single sedative, it is limited by its psychotropic and vomiting-inducing effects. Compared to the target-controlled infusion (TCI) with propofol and ketamine sedation, the patient's propofol dose can be reduced by 15% under the same sedation conditions ( 25 ). Some experts believe that esketamine can replace opioids as a contraction additive to propofol sedation because propofol can be used in smaller amounts with limited cardiopulmonary side effects to achieve adequate levels of sedation and analgesia ( 26 ).…”
