Removal of airway foreign body using flexible bronchoscopy in children.

Background: Flexible bronchoscopy is mainly used to diagnose airway foreign bodies (AFBs). Due to advances in pediatric anesthesia, many teams have considered the extraction of AFBs by flexible bronchoscopy. We aimed to assess the success of flexible bronchoscopy in AFB removal in children.

Left sleeve pneumonectomy for a rare lung tumor: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Primary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the lung is extremely rare. This tumor can be asymptomatic or have non characteristics symptoms, and the diagnosis is often late. The treatment of choice is surgery when it's possible.

[A case of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation treated surgically].

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation is a rare abnormality consisting of a direct connection between the arteries and the pulmonary veins. Most of the malformations are related to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, although 10 to 20% cases are idiopathic. Clinical manifestations are due to right-to-left shunting.

[Primary benign schwannoma of the pleura: Report of 2 cases].

The preferred thoracic location of a schwannoma is the posterior mediastinum. A pleural location is very rare. To date there have been fewer than 20 cases in the literature.

Oxygen delivery monitoring under cardiopulmonary bypass : what implication on postoperative morbidity and mortality ?

Introduction: The standard control parameters of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) currently used in Tunisia are replaced in Western countries by the concept of "goal-directed-perfusion" requiring oxygen delivery (DO2) minimum at 270ml / min / m2.

Aim: In this study, we explored the association between the DO2 and the postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional and retrospective observational study including a series of 50 patients operated on for myocardial revascularization under CPB.
