Filter by:The use of an ultrathin bronchoscope (UB) has recently been introduced in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions. The use of the UB can be supported by navigation systems such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound guidance, electromagnetic navigation, or other technologies, which have complementary potential. Further navigation techniques are still under study. The use of ultrathin instrumentation has already been shown to significantly reduce procedural times compared to traditional instrumentation. The purpose of the study is to prospectively evaluate the institutional experience of different third-level hospital centers with the use of a UB (MP190F; Olympus Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan) for sampling peripheral lung lesions by means of transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) or transbronchial biopsy (TBB), performed after fluoroscopic navigation and simultaneous radial probe-endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS) assessment. Design: multicentric, observational study.
This study will determine the outcomes of anatomic lung resections in patients who recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease by describing the morbidity and mortality as well as the length of postoperative hospital stay.
Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is an important risk factor for chronic respiratory disease due to residual lung damage. A recent review of the literature on TB sequelae and rehabilitation has provided clear evidence that TB is definitively responsible for lung function impairment. Functional evaluation of TB patients after completion of pulmonary tuberculosis treatment or spontaneous healing should be considered as part of clinical care. Unfortunately, few studies are available in the literature investigating the physiopathology of lung damage, its impact on quality of life, the potential need for pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), and the effects of a PR program.Objectives of this prospective multicentre international study are: Primary Objective-to assess the exercise capacity 6-min walking test in patients with post-TB lung impairment after completion of pulmonary tuberculosis treatment or after spontaneous healing. Secondary Objectives-to assess the effects of the PR program on dyspnoea symptoms and muscle fatigue, quality of life.
