To perform a bronchoscopy safely, it is very important to make a risk assessment before and after the procedure. There have been no reports of hypoxemia during sleep on the day after a bronchoscopic examination; therefore, we evaluated the oxygen saturation status during sleep on the days before and after bronchoscopy. Thirty patients that underwent bronchoscopy were studied. Continuous pulse oximetry monitoring was performed on the day before bronchoscopy and the day when the bronchoscopy was performed. The average oxygen saturation levels and the oxygen desaturation index (ODI) were evaluated. There was a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the ODI-3% during sleep on the day of the bronchoscopy compared to the day before the bronchoscopy. Clinicians should pay careful attention to hypoxia not only during bronchoscopy, but also during sleep on the night following the procedure.

Rates, Diagnoses, and Predictors of Unplanned 30-Day Readmissions of Critical Care Survivors Hospitalized for Lung Involvement in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: An Analysis of National Representative US Readmissions Data.

Introduction/objectives: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that frequently involves the lungs, contributing to significant morbidity in hospitalized patients. Critical care survivors with lung involvement in SLE are at particularly high risk for unplanned hospital readmissions, which can reflect the complexity of their disease, which often affects multiple organs and requires immunosuppressive therapy that increases infection risk. Severe pulmonary complications, critical illness sequelae, and challenges in medication adherence or follow-up care further contribute to their vulnerability.

Background: Tracheomalacia (TM) is common in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and associated with respiratory morbidity. Assessment of TM was historically via bronchoscopy, but recent studies demonstrate that ultrashort echo-time (UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can accurately assess TM in neonates.
Research Question: Do neonates with MRI-identified TM and BPD have increased respiratory morbidity through age 2 years?
Methods: We performed an observational cohort study of 54 subjects with BPD and assessed TM using UTE MRI at term-equivalent age.

Article Synopsis
- * Diagnostic imaging confirmed the mass as a plasma cell tumor, and after a successful endoscopic surgery to remove it, the patient showed significant improvement and was discharged quickly.
- * The report emphasizes the need for thorough diagnostic processes for patients with obstructive bronchial masses and suggests that early detection and treatment of plasmacytoma can lead to better patient outcomes, highlighting the importance of regular follow-ups to prevent recurrence.
Safety and Feasibility of Early Activity-Based Therapy Following Severe Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: Results from a Single-Arm Pilot Trial.

Early activity-based therapy (E-ABT) has the potential to decrease complications and radically improve neurofunctional recovery following traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). Unfortunately, E-ABT after TSCI has never been attempted in humans due to practical obstacles and potential safety concerns. This study aims to report on the safety and feasibility outcomes of the Protocol for Rapid Onset of Mobilization in Patients with Traumatic SCI (PROMPT-SCI) trial: the first-ever trial of E-ABT in critically ill patients who suffered a severe TSCI.

Background: In 2020, a mandatory, nationwide 1-day bronchoscopy simulation-based training (SBT) course was implemented for novice pulmonology residents in the Netherlands. This pretest-posttest study was the first to evaluate the effectiveness of such a nationwide course in improving residents' simulated basic bronchoscopy skills.
Methods: After passing a theoretical test, residents followed a 1-day SBT course, available in 7 centers, where they practiced their bronchoscopy skills step-by-step on a virtual reality simulator under pulmonologist supervision.
