Successful bronchoscopy in a pregnant patient with plastic bronchitis

Abstract: Plastic bronchitis is a rare disorder, characterized by formation of thick fibrinous bronchial casts which can obstruct the airway and present as a life threatening emergency (1). It is more common in the pediatric population after corrective or palliative surgery for congenital heart disease like fontan procedure but has rarely been reported in adults as well (1). Pregnancy is a relative contraindication for bronchoscopy. Bronchoscopy in the pregnant patient poses significant risks as manipulation of the airw… Show more

“…[38] For some empyema complicated with airway foreign body, empyema that was further induced by airway foreign body, or atypical foreign bodies in the airway, such as hair, fruit shell skin and jelly, chest CT cannot develop the relative images; after bronchoscopy examination, early detection and elimination can be achieved, avoiding the occurrence and development of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. [39] In this study, 5 cases of empyema in the experimental group had severe respiratory and asthmatic symptoms, and the total number of white blood cells in routine blood test was 20 to 50 * 10 9 /L, and the C-reactive protein level was about 100 to 200 mg/L. There was no obvious interruption of trachea shadow in thoracic highresolution CT tracheal imaging.…”

“…ПБ чаще возникает у детей с врождёнными пороками сердца (ВПС) после гемодинамической коррекции [7]. Например, операция Фонтена может привести к ПБ примерно у 4% пациентов [8]. ПБ также может наблюдаться после перенесенной процедуры шунтирования Гленна (геми-Фонтена), восстановления тетрады Фалло, операции артериального переключения и других операций на сердце [9][10][11].…”
