Rationale: We report here a case of using iodine-125 (125I) seed implantation via endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) in the treatment of malignant central airway obstruction (MCAO) in a patient with lung adenocarcinoma.
Patient Concerns: The patient still experienced MCAO after conventional bronchoscopic interventional therapy.
Diagnoses: The patient was diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma stage IV (T4N2M1a).

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is the standard method for sampling mediastinal/hilar lymph node disease. However, the smaller samples obtained via needle aspiration have a lower diagnostic rate for benign compared to malignant diseases. The low diagnostic rates have been reported to be improved through using endobronchial ultrasound-guided intranodal forceps biopsy (EBUS-IFB), but the implementation of IFB presents technical challenges, as described with variable results in certain studies.

Background: This study aimed to quantify radiation doses during navigational bronchoscopy procedures, comparing them with reported cohorts and evaluating the LungVision (Body Vision Medical Inc.) system's efficacy in dose reduction.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 52 consecutive navigational bronchoscopy cases, categorized into 4 imaging groups based on the C-arm: Cios Spin (Siemens Healthineers), or OEC 9900 (GE HealthCare); and the 3D tomographic imaging algorithm: Cios Spin's onboard imaging, or LungVision's AI-driven imaging.

Key Clinical Message: Although the symptoms of accidental chlorine inhalation are typically mild, severe exposure can result in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We present a case of pediatric ARDS due to chlorine exposure in which lung lavage and exogenous surfactant were successful in avoiding more invasive and costly treatments.
Abstract: Chlorine inhalation as a result of swimming pool chlorination accidents is relatively common.
