The Impact of Balloon Use during Endobronchial Ultrasound: A Randomized Pilot Study.
Respiration
November 2024
Division of Thoracic Surgery, CHUM Endoscopic Tracheo-Bronchial and Oesophageal Center (CETOC), Centre de Recherche de Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montreal (CR-CHUM), Montreal, Québec, Canada.
Introduction: During endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), a saline-filled balloon placed over the tip of the bronchoscope is used to improve coupling of the ultrasound transducer to the airway wall. However, it is unknown whether it objectively improves image quality or affects procedural outcomes. Our aim was to establish whether the use of a balloon during EBUS impacts image quality, diagnostic yield, procedure duration or complications.

Article Synopsis
- Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a significant issue after esophagectomy, affecting up to 40% of patients despite advances in surgical care.
- This study aims to determine if using high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) right after extubation can lower PPC rates compared to standard oxygen therapy.
- The research involves 320 participants who will be randomly assigned to either HFNC or standard therapy post-surgery, with various complications being tracked to assess the effectiveness of each approach.
Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsies, Transbronchial Forceps Lung Biopsies, and Surgical Lung Biopsies in Mechanically Ventilated Patients with Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
J Intensive Care Med

Department of Medicine, Université de Montréal, Montréal, Canada.
Importance: Lung biopsies are sometimes performed in mechanically ventilated patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) of unknown etiology to guide patient management. While surgical lung biopsies (SLB) offer high diagnostic rates, they may also cause significant complications. Transbronchial forceps lung biopsies (TBLB) are less invasive but often produce non-contributive specimens.

St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Objectives: Our goal was to evaluate gender representation among session leaders and abstract presenters at European cardio-thoracic surgical annual meetings.
Methods: We did a descriptive study of the gender distribution among session leaders and abstract presenters at 2 European cardio-thoracic international meetings from 2017 to 2022. Data from publicly available programmes were used to generate a list of session leaders and abstract presenters.
Challenges in the Management of Laryngo-Tracheo-Bronchial Stenosis Secondary to Tuberculosis.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, UKM Medical Centre, National University of Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Campus, Jalan Yaacob Latiff, Bandar Tun Razak, 56000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Laryngo-tracheo-bronchial tuberculosis may be primary or secondary to pulmonary tuberculosis. It causes stenosis of the airway, leading to life threatening airway obstruction. We herein describe the challenges in managing a case of laryngo-tracheo-bronchial stenosis in a 22-year-old patient who presented with stridor post antituberculous therapy secondary to a malacic airway.
