Abstract:
Objective To explore the role of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope(FFB) in the critical patients with severe respiratory diseases of PICU.Methods One hundred and eighty-nine cases of severe respiratory diseases had undergone FFB from Jul 2010 to Jan 2011.One hundred and fifty-seven (83.06%) cases were less than 3 years.FFB examinations were made through nose (226 times) and endotracheal intubation (25 times).Bronchoscopic lavage for bacterial culture was performed by injecting normal saline solution (NSS) via a syringe into the working channel of FFB.Results Of all 189 cases,bacteria were isolated from 80 cases (42.3%) for bacterial culture of bronchoscopic lavage fluid,which included G-bacilli in 51 cases,G + cocci in 21 cases,and fungi in 8 cases.Six cases with tracheobronchial foreign bodies and 31 cases with respiratory tract anatomical abnormalities were found through FFB.Forty cases of severe pneumonia complicated with respiratory failure underwent bronchoscopic lavage,which were effective in 35 cases,and ineffective in 5 cases.In 20 cases of severe pneumonia atelectasis,pulmonary reexpansion were found in 16 cases by bronchoscopic lavage,atomization inhalation,and systemic administration,4 cases improved.Tracheobronchial foreign bodies were removed in all 6 cases by FFB.During FFB,bradycardia was found in 1 cases.There was no FFBrelated death.Conclusion FFB is safe for severe patients with respiratory diseases in PICU.FFB play important role in diagnosis and treatment for children in PICU,including feasible intervention under bronchoscopy.
