Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between the indications,findings,interventions of fibrobronchoscopy(FB) in neonates and their correlative diseases with neonatal FB results and clinical data.Methods Retrospective case series of 243 consecutive patients of 28 days old or younger were investigated underwent FB for the first time from January 2010 to December 2014,at a tertiary care hospital.The common indications for FB and detection rate of respiratory tract diseases were collected.If the findings of FB had significant associations with premature birth and other diseases were analyzed.Associations between interventions and basic illnesses were also analyzed.Results Of the 243 patients undergoing 275 procedures of FB,201 cases were boys(73.1％).The age of FB was (13.34 ± 9.76) days and the weight was (3.08 ± 0.68) kg.Forty-five cases were premature infants (16.4％).A total of 254 procedures were found to have congenital diseases (92.4％),and 177 cases of them had congenital heart diseases (CHD) (64.4％).Common indications for FB were dyspnea(140 cases,50.9％),tachypnea(82 cases,29.8％),and stridor(71 cases,25.8％).A total of 188 upper airway lesions were found and the most common findings were laryngomalacia(56 cases,20.4％) and vocal cord paralysis(bilateral/unilateral,50 cases,18.2％).A total of 315 lower airway lesions were found and the most common findings were airway mucosal inflammation (98 cases,35.6％),trachea and main bronchial stenosis (73 cases,26.5 ％).A total of 21 cases (7.6％) underwent supraglottoplasty during or after FB,while 17 cases (6.2％) underwent tracheal dilation and 10 cases (3.6％) underwent tracheotomy.Compared with non-CHD neonates,neonates with CHD were statistically significantly less likely to have congenital lesions statistically,such as laryngomalacia(15.8％ vs.28.6％,P =0.012),bilateral vocal cord lesions(6.2％ vs.21.4％,P =0.000) and congenital laryngeal dysplasia(0 vs.7.1％,P =0.001).The tracheotomy(0 vs.10.2％,P =0.000) and supraglottoplasty(2.3％ vs.17.3％,P =0.000) were more rare.Nevertheless,they were more likely to have secondary lesions such as the left main bronchial stenosis caused by extrinsic compression (23.7％ vs.1.0％,P =0.000),abnormal bronchial anatomy(9.6％ vs.2.0％,P =0.018),left vocal cord paralysis(9.0％ vs.1.0％,P =0.008) and airway mucosal inflammation(41.8％ vs.24.5％,P =0.004).The tracheostenosis and main broncial stenosis (37.3％ vs.7.1％,P =0.000) with long-term intubation(78.5％ vs.58.2％,P =0.000) were more common.There was no significant difference between term neonates and premature infants in the detection rate of respiratory tract diseases (P ＞ 0.05),tracheotomy (0 vs.4.3 ％,P =0.322),supraglottoplasty (13.3 ％ vs.6.5 ％,P =0.205) or long-term i ntubation (80.0％ vs.69.6％,P =0.157).Complications caused by procedure were rare and mild.Conclusions FB can detect whether the neonates with dyspnea,tachypnea and stridor have laryngomalacia,vocal cord paralysis,airway mucous edema,tracheal and main bronchial stenosis and other signs,and FB may play an important role in diagnosis,treatment and prognosis evaluation of neonatal respiratory diseases.
