Cryoprobe biopsy versus mechanical biopsies in pulmonary diagnostics.
Curr Opin Pulm Med
January 2025
Article Synopsis
- Biopsy tools are crucial for accurate bronchoscopic diagnoses, and cryobiopsy has gained attention for its effectiveness in identifying thoracic diseases.
- Cryobiopsy has shown higher diagnostic yields compared to traditional forceps biopsies, thanks to its ability to collect larger tissue samples through freezing.
- Despite some risk of complications, the improved diagnostic accuracy makes cryobiopsy a valuable method for evaluating conditions related to the lungs and surrounding areas.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to investigate whether IV high-dose vitamin C improves the short-term mortality of patients with sepsis.
Design: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. We searched EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and MEDLINE for randomized controlled trials that met inclusion criteria.
