Lung Ultrasound for Early Diagnosis of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia.
Chest
April 2016
Réanimation Chirurgicale, Groupe Hospitalier Saint Joseph, Paris, France. Electronic address:
Background: Lung ultrasound (LUS) has been successfully applied for monitoring aeration in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and to diagnose and monitor community-acquired pneumonia. However, no scientific evidence is yet available on whether LUS reliably improves the diagnosis of VAP.
Methods: In a multicenter prospective study of 99 patients with suspected VAP, we investigated the diagnostic performance of LUS findings of infection, subpleural consolidation, lobar consolidation, and dynamic arborescent/linear air bronchogram.
Radiological findings and outcomes of bronchial artery embolization in cryptogenic hemoptysis.

Management of cryptogenic massive hemoptysis is difficult, and conservative treatment may be inadequate to stop the hemorrhage. Surgery is not a reasonable option because there is no underlying identifiable pathology. This study aimed to investigate the radiologic findings and bronchial artery embolization outcomes in cryptogenic hemoptysis, and to compare the results with non-cryptogenic hemoptysis.

Congenital lobar emphysema is mainly diagnosed in infants, although rare cases are reported in adults. A 20-yr-old female with acute dyspnea, chest pain and left upper lobe (LUL) chest x-ray hyperlucency underwent 3He magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for ventilation and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements, as well as CT for emphysema and airway wall measurements. Forced expiratory volume in 1s, residual volume, and airways-resistance were abnormal, but there was normal carbon-monoxide-diffusing-capacity.

A 51-year-old woman presented with one-month history of fever, productive cough, dyspnea, hoarseness and polyarthritis. Computed tomography (CT) depicted diffuse bronchotracheal stenosis, which deteriorated in exhalation. Three-dimensional CT revealed airway stenosis from the trachea to the lobar bronchi.
