In vitro in vivo reproterol showed intense spasmolytic effects upon the trachea and bronchi against various spasm-including agents (histamine, acetylcholine, acetyl-beta-methylcholine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, BaCl2).

Chest computed tomography (CT) is the most frequently performed imaging examination worldwide. Compared with chest radiography, chest CT greatly improves the detection rate and diagnostic accuracy of chest lesions because of the absence of overlapping structures and is the best imaging technique for the observation of chest lesions. However, there are still frequently missed diagnoses during the interpretation process, especially in certain areas or "blind spots", which may possibly be overlooked by radiologists.

Background: Esophageal atresia (EA) is associated with tracheobronchomalacia (TBM), which in its most severe form, causes blue spells, brief resolved unexplained events (BRUEs) that can require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and positive pressure ventilation (PPV) or ventilator dependence, often requiring tracheostomy. We study the role of tracheobronchopexy, as an alternative to tracheostomy, in EA patients with severe life-threatening TBM.

Methods: We reviewed EA patients who underwent tracheobronchopexy for blue spells, BRUEs, and failure to wean PPV or extubate from February 2013 to September 2021 at two institutions.
