Bronchoscopic Cryotherapy for Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure in Three Mechanically Ventilated Patients: A Case Series.

Endobronchial blood clots or mucus plugs can present with minimal symptoms or acute airway obstruction in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Acute airway obstruction can lead to rapid worsening of dyspnea owing to poor oxygenation due to collapse of the lung. Prompt recognition and treatment of this condition can translate into a successful outcome by decreasing morbidity and mortality and facilitating successful weaning of these patients.
