  1. BRONCHOSCOPY Cori Daines, MD Pediatric Pulmonology, Allergy and Immunology University of Arizona

  2. BACKGROUND • Allows direct visualization of the airways • Rigid and flexible instruments • Clinical tool • Airway anatomy • Airway sampling • Therapeutic • Research tool

  3. ORIGINS • Until the 1980’s, only rigid instruments were widely used • Multiple generations of adult and pediatric flexible bronchoscopes now • Widely used in adult and pediatric pulmonary medicine now

  4. RIGID BRONCHOSCOPY • Generally performed by ENT’s and surgeons • Procedure oriented • Foreign body removal • Biopsies • Granuloma/polyp removal • Laser • Stent placement • Visualization for future surgery

  5. INSTRUMENTS • Rigid bronchoscopes • Hollow metal tube • Glass rod telescope • Ultimate optics

  6. FLEXIBLE BRONCHOCSOPY • Examination of the entire respiratory anatomy, nose to bronchi • Minor impact on anatomy • Able to pass through an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube

  7. INSTRUMENTS • Flexible instruments • Fiberoptic bronchoscopes • 2.2mm ultrathin • 2.8mm/1.2mm suction channel • 3.4mm/1.2mm suction channel • 4.4mm/2.0mm suction channel • 4.9mm/2.2mm suction channel • 5.9mm/3.0mm suction channel

  8. INSTRUMENTS • Flexible instruments • Video bronchoscopes • 2.8mm/1.2mm suction channel (hybrid video scope) • 3.8mm/1.2mm suction channel • 4.0mm/2.0mm suction channel (hybrid video scope) • 4.9mm/2.0mm suction channel • 6.0mm/3.0mm suction channel • 6.3mm/3.2mm suction channel

  9. Fiberoptic bronchoscope 2.8mm diameter

  10. Pediatric Videoscope 2.8mm diameter

  11. Pediatric videoscope 3.8mm diameter

  12. Adult videoscope 4.9 mm diameter

  13. INDICATIONS • When flexible bronchoscopy is the best, easiest, safest, most efficient way to obtain the information

  14. AIRWAY ANATOMY

  15. TECHNIQUE

  16. TECHNIQUE • Anesthesia • Best accomplished in the operating room • May be performed bedside in an ICU setting • Continuous monitoring • Light anesthesia--allows continued spontaneous breathing • May be done with conscious sedation in older individuals

  17. TECHNIQUE • Insertion • Nasal • LMA • Endotracheal tube • Tracheostomy tube • Appropriate topical anesthesia and lubrication

  18. TECHNIQUE • Anatomical survey • Nasal passages • Pharynx • Larynx • Trachea • Bronchi • Examine all before any other procedures

  19. TECHNIQUE • Additional procedures • Bronchoalveolar lavage • Brushings • Bronchial biopsy • Transbronchial biopsy • Laser • Others: cryotherapy, stent placement, foreign body removal, needle biopsy

  20. BRONCHOALVEOLAR LAVAGE • Small aliquots of sterile normal saline instilled into the airway • Removed by suctioning • Samples distal bronchial and alveolar surfaces • Wedge position to prevent loss of fluid

  21. BAL TESTS • Microbiology • Bacterial, viral, fungal, AFB, special techniques • Pathology • Cell count, differential, special stains

  22. MICROBIOLOGIC STUDIES • Stains • Gram stain • Acid fast stain (Ziehl-Neelsen) • Antibody tests • Rapid tests, DFA tests • In-situ • PCR

  23. SPECIAL STAINS • Lipid • Oil Red O • Sudan • Hemosiderin • Prussian Blue • Alveolar proteinosis • PAS • Electron microscopy

  24. SPECIAL STAINS • Fungi • Silver (Gomori’s methenamine silver stain) • Pneumocystis carinii • Silver stain • Papanicolaou

  25. BRONCHOALVEOLAR LAVAGE

  26. SPECIFIC INDICATIONS • Atelectasis • Recurrent pneumonia • Chronic cough • Persistent/unexplained wheeze • Hemoptysis • Suspected airway compression/obstruction • Stridor • Upper airway obstruction • Suspected aspiration • Evaluation of tracheostomies

  27. NORMAL ANATOMY

  28. BRONCHOALVEOLAR LAVAGE

  29. LARYNGOMALACIA

  30. LARYNGOMALACIA

  31. TRACHEOMALACIA

  32. TRACHEOMALACIA

  33. SUCTION TRAUMA

  34. TRACHEOBRONCHOMEGALY
