Abstract:
Objective To explore the etiology of pulmonary atelectasis and explore the value of fiberoptic bronchoscope in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary atelectasis.Methods 192 cases of pulmonary atelectasis confirmed by thoracic X-ray and CT were examined and treated under fiberoptic bronchoscope.Results The final cause of 192 cases pulmonary atelectasis was lung cancer in 122 cases,chronic inflammation in 35 cases,tuberculosis in 24 cases,foreign body in 3 cases,blood clot obstruction in 3 cases,no clear causes in 5 cases;97.4% of pulmonary atelectasis were diagnosed.The treatment of pulmonary atelectasis caused by tumor obstruction was ineffective under fiberoptic bronchoscope;Then for others,atelectasis of patients was re-expanded completely in 65.7% after treatment one week under fiberoptic bronchoscope,re-expanded partially in 27.1% and the effective rate was 92.8%.Conclusion The rate of etiologic diagnosis of pulmonary atelectasis under fiberoptic bronchoscope is high;The main causes of pulmonary atelectasis are lung cancer,chronic inflammation and tuberculosis.The pulmonary atelectasis with no clear cause should be examined with fiberoptic bronchoscope.The treatment under fiberoptic bronchscope is effective for non-tumor atelectasis.
