Bronchoskopische Vermessung und dreidimensionale Darstellung der TracheaSugano, Yoshimi Teresa 17 February 2006 (has links)
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit ist ein neues bronchoskopisches Verfahren entwickelt und getestet worden, mit dem eine Längs- und Querschnittsvermessung zentraler Atemwegesstenosen in Echtzeit ermöglicht wird und anschließend eine 3D-Rekonstruktion des untersuchten Abschnitts dargestellt werden kann. Für die Querschnittsflächenbestimmung wird durch den Arbeitskanal des Bronchoskops eine Lasersonde eingeführt und ein Laserlichtring auf die Trachealwand projiziert. Die Abbildung des Lichtrings wird im bronchoskopischen Bild noch während der Untersuchung mit Hilfe einer speziell im Rahmen dieser Arbeit entwickelten Software Endo3D segmentiert und vermessen. Durch Speichern aufeinanderfolgender Querschnittsflächen kann ein 3D-Datensatz erstellt, visualisiert und das Volumen berechnet werden. Experimentell wurde die Methode an Kunststoffmodellen mit bekannten Maßen und Präparaten aus Schweineluftröhren getestet. Die Referenzwerte für die Volumen der Schweineluftröhren wurden durch Wasservolumetrie bestimmt. Klinisch wurde die Methode in einer Pilotstudie getestet. Bei 10 Patienten wurden Querschnitte und Volumen unterschiedlich langer Trachealabschnitte vermessen. Als Vergleichsmethode wurde jeweils eine CT durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse im experimentellen Teil zeigten bei sehr guter Reproduzierbarkeit eine gute Korrelation zwischen den bronchoskopisch gemessenen Werten und den realen bzw. Referenzwerten. Die Korrelation der klinischen Ergebnisse erwies sich als befriedigend ohne Hinweis auf einen systematischen Fehler. Ein kleiner systematischer Messfehler im experimentellen Teil zeigte sich als irrelevant für die Klinik. Die hier vorgestellte Methode ermöglicht untersucherunabhängige Verlaufsbeschreibungen von Stenosen und erlaubt die Schaffung einer einheitlichen Klassifikation. Darüber hinaus ist damit zukünftig eine individualisierten Stentimplantation sowie Tumorvolumenberechnungen denkbar. / In this paper a new bronchoscopic method was developed and tested, that performs measuring both cross-sectional areas and length of central airway stenoses in real-time. Furthemore this method enables to represent a three-dimensional reconstruction of the airway section that was analysed. To measure th cross-section area, a laser probe inserted into the operating channel of a bronchoscope projects a ring of light onto the trachal wall and marks the cross-sectional area. A new software especially developed for this method makes it possible to identify the projected ring of light and measures the cross-sectional area after applying lens distortion correction algorithms. By saving a succession of cross-sections 3D-data is provided for visualizing and volume calculation. The measuring accurracy was first tested employing plastic tubes with known diameters and 17 models of porcine trachea. The cilinical evaluation was realized in a pilot study. Sections of different length of tracheas of 10 patients were analysed by both the new method and by CT. The results of the experimental part showed good correlation between the reference methods and a very good reliability. The correlation between CT and bronchoscopic measuring results was slightly less good than the experimental correlation, but they showed no systematic measuring error. A little systematic error in the experimental evaluation prooved to be irrelevant for clinical results. The new method enabels objective description of stenoses and makes it possible to develop a standardized classification. In future indvidual stent construcions or calculation of tumor volumes are conceivable.

Previous issue date: 2007-09-24 / Airway aspiration of foreign body (FB) is a universal problem and an important cause
of morbidity and mortality especially for children and the elderly. FB aspiration was
evaluated in 72 children and teenagers varying from 7 months to 15 years of age who
underwent rigid bronchoscopy at the CMUH (Children Maternal University Hospital),
in São Luís-MA/ Brazil, for FB aspiration in the period from 1995 to 2005. For data
collecting, an index card was filled out for each patient. Epi-info and Bio-estata
programs were used for processing and statistical analysis. A major prevalence of FB
aspiration from 1998 through 2001 was observed. Most patients were from the
countryside (55.6%). The predominant age was the firsts three years of life (81.9%).
The prevalence was greater among the male sex (63.9%). In 83.3% of the cases the
initial diagnosis was FB aspiration. The elapsed time between the aspiration and the
bronchoscopy was greater than 72h (52.8 %). The most frequent site was the right lung
(38.9 %). The most common types of FB found were of organic nature (83.3 %). The
most prevailing radiological finding was hypotransparence (56.9%). Bronchitis was the
most frequently reported complication related to FB aspiration (45.9%), and glottis
edema was a major complication upon bronchoscopy (47.6%), with no deaths reported
in the studied group. It is concluded that bronchoscopy is a safe, highly sensible and
efficient procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of FB aspiration, and that a late
diagnosis suggests a need for better qualification of the health professionals. / A aspiração de corpo estranho (ACE) para via aérea é um problema universal e uma
importante causa de morbidade e mortalidade, especialmente em crianças e idosos.
Avaliou-se a aspiração de corpo estranho em 72 crianças na faixa etária de 7 meses a 15
anos submetidas à endoscopia respiratória no Hospital Universitário Materno Infantil
(HUMI) por ACE, no período de 1995 a 2005, São Luís - Maranhão. Para cada paciente
estudado foi preenchida uma ficha de coleta de dados. Utilizou-se os programas Epi-
Info e BioEstata para o processamento e análise estatística. Observou-se uma maior
prevalência de ACE nos anos de 1998 a 2001. A maior procedência foi das cidades do
interior (55,6%). A idade predominante foi nos três primeiros anos de vida (81,9%). A
prevalência foi maior no sexo masculino (63,9%). Em 83,3% dos casos, o diagnóstico
inicial foi de ACE. O tempo decorrido entre a aspiração e o exame endoscópico foi
maior que 72h (52,8%). A localização mais freqüente foi o pulmão direito (38,9%). O
tipo de corpo estranho (CE) mais encontrado foi o orgânico (83,3%). O achado
radiológico mais prevalente foi a hipotransparência (56,9%). A complicação mais
freqüente relacionada ao CE foi a bronquite (45,9%) A complicação relacionada ao
exame endoscópico mais freqüente foi o edema de glote (47,6%), não havendo óbitos.
Concluiu-se que a endoscopia respiratória mostrou-se um procedimento seguro, eficaz e
de alta sensibilidade no diagnóstico e tratamento do ACE e que a demora no seu
diagnóstico sugere a necessidade de melhor qualificação dos profissionais de saúde.

T cells in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseaseRoos-Engstrand, Ester January 2010 (has links)
Background: Tobacco smoking is the main cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, but the mechanisms by which cigarette smoke induces COPD are still elusive. T lymphocytes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease, but their role in the airway inflammation in COPD is not fully understood. The aim of this thesis was therefore to address T lymphocyte subsets and their activation in the airways of subjects with COPD, in comparison to smokers with normal lung function (S) and never smokers (NS). Methods: Subjects with moderate to severe COPD were recruited along with controls. They were all non-atopic and clinically stable, without any exacerbation during at least three months prior to inclusion. Only medication with short-acting β2-agonists and/or anti-cholinergic drugs was permitted. All subjects underwent bronchoscopy with endobronchial mucosal biopsy sampling as well as bronchial wash, BW, and bronchoalveolar lavage, BAL, collection. Biopsies were immunohistochemically stained for inflammatory cells and markers. BW and BAL fluids were prepared for differential cell counts. Soluble markers were measured in BW and lymphocyte subsets were determined in BAL using flow cytometry. Results: In biopsies, an increase in epithelial CD3+ and CD8+ cells was found in COPD, compared to NS. In BAL fluid, CD8+ cells were enhanced, whereas CD4+ cells were reduced in subjects with COPD and S, compared to NS. Furthermore, CD4+ and CD8+ cells were more activated both in COPD and S, in terms of increased expression of CD25, CD69 and HLA-DR. NKG2D-expressing CD8+ T cells in BAL fluid were enhanced in both COPD and S. CD4+CD25bright cells were upregulated in COPD and S, suggesting the presence of regulatory T cells. Further analyses of T cell subsets with the more specific markers for regulatory T cells, FoxP3 and CD127, indicated a smoking-induced expansion of non-regulatory T cells, which tended to normalize after smoking cessation in COPD. Currently smoking subjects with COPD still expressed high proportions of activated non-regulatory CD4+ T cells. The data on FoxP3 expression further indicated that the increase in CD25 expression in COPD and S was not only associated with the expansion of regulatory T cells. As CD127 expression is reported to be inversely associated with FoxP3, the data indicate the expansion of a non-regulatory CD25+ population in smokers and patients with stable COPD. The immunohistochemical staining for the NKG2D ligands MICA and MICB on epithelial cells was unchanged. Conclusion: The results of this thesis suggest a role for CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells in clinically stable COPD, indicating that T-cells are of importance in the long-term inflammatory response in COPD. Regardless of current smoking habits, activated CD8+ T lymphocytes were found to be increased in BAL fluid from subjects with COPD, suggesting that changes in CD8+ T cells are associated with a persistent immune response and, thus, of importance in COPD pathogenesis. In contrast, the expansion of non-regulatory CD25+CD4+ cells in BAL fluid seemed to be preferentially smoke-related. In summary, the data indicate that, among airway T cells, changes in CD8+ cells seem to be highly associated with COPD pathogenesis, whereas changes in CD4+ cells appear to be related to cigarette smoke-induced responses. Further, a non regulatory population of helper T cells was identified in BAL fluid of COPD patients, which may contribute to the persistent cytotoxic T cell responses.

Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy : studies on methods for the diagnosis of carcinoma of the lung, bronchial mucosal damage and haemodynamic effectsLundgren, Rune January 1982 (has links)
The diagnostic accuracy attained with the use of transbronchial fine needle aspiration biopsy, aspiration of bronchial secretion, bronchial washing, brush biopsy and forceps biopsy via a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope was compared in patients with carcinoma of the lung. In endoscopic visible tumours the sensitivity of forceps biopsy was higher than that of the other methods. When forceps biopsy was combined with bronchial washing the overall diagnostic accuracy was significantly higher than that of any of the single methods, while no appreciable increase was obtained by adding additional methods. Selective brush biopsy from every segment bronchus has been established as a method in the search for occult bronchial carcinoma. The extent of respiratory mucosal damage and wound healing after brush biopsy was therefore studied in rabbits. Large differences in the extension and depth of the damage was observed. The basement membrane was often penetrated. Regeneration started during the first day after brush biopsy and a normal ciliated epithelium was restored within three weeks. To determine if the bronchoscope itself damaged the respiratory epithelium, bronchial mucosa was studied in the pig after examination with a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope. The columnar epithelial cells were torn off in areas where the bronchoscope had rubbed against the airway wall but the basement membrane was not damaged. Since the function of the respiratory epithelium is to remove inhaled particles from the airways, mucociliary clearance was studied in man after fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The study suggests that the tracheobronchial clearance system has a large reserve for mechanical trauma. Mucociliary clearance can however be decreased after fiberoptic bronchoscopy in some patients. An increasing number of patients with impaired cardiopulmonary function are today subjected to examination with flexible fiberoptic broncoscopy. The haemodynamic effects of fiberoptic bronchoscopy performed under topical anaesthesia were therefore studied in patients with restrictive lung disease. The procedure induced marked haemodynamic changes during passage of the larynx and during suctioning. A slight fall in arterial oxygen tension was observed during bronchial suctioning and in the post-bronchoscopic period. Three of ten patients developed ST-T-segment changes during bronchial suctioning. / <p>S. 1-48: sammanfattning, s. 49-126: 5 uppsatser</p> / digitalisering@umu.se

Nové diagnostické metody v bronchologii / New diagnostic methods in bronchologyVotruba, Jiří January 2016 (has links)
The aim of this work has been the development and optimization of methods for early diagnosis of lung cancer, their utility and integration into daily practice. Firstly, we developed a device for measurement of endobronchial temperature (thermobronchoscopy) and found significant difference in endoluminal temperature above tumors and infiltrated lymph nodes compared to healthy regions. We further designed an appliance for near infrared spectroscopy of the bronchial mucosa and identified spectroscopic features useful for localization of solitary pulmonary nodule. The use of the appliance improved yield of endobronchial biopsy compared to endobronchial ultrasound. In the next part of the study, we describe further techniques for early diagnosis of lung cancer including endobronchial ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, confocal fluorescence microendoscopy, reflectance spectroscopy, autofluorescence bronchoscopy, fluorescence bronchoscopy, and narrow band imaging with concise introduction of our experience gained in several pilot projects. Next, we showed the utility of measurement of acetic acid in exhaled air as a promising biomarker for non-invasive identification of patients with symptomatic acid gastroesophageal reflux. Lastly, we demonstrated significant difference in radiation dose in HRCT...

Efeitos da fração inspirada de oxigênio nos volumes pulmonares regionais após oclusão lobar seletiva em modelo fisiológico de redução volumétrica pulmonar endoscópica com válvulas unidirecionais / Effects of inspired oxygen fraction on regional lung volumes during selective lobar occlusion in a physiological model of endoscopic lung volume reduction with one-way endobronchial valvesTorsani, Vinicius 13 June 2019 (has links)
Introdução - Pacientes com enfisema pulmonar avançado submetidos a redução volumétrica pulmonar endoscópica (ELVR) com válvulas unidirecionais (EBV) apresentam melhores resultados quando o lobo tratado não possui ventilação colateral e atelectasia lobar é alcançada. No entanto, a resposta positiva de desinsuflação está associada a maior ocorrência de pneumotórax nessa população. Recomendações recentes enfatizam a importância de condutas no intra- e pós-operatório que busquem minimizar os riscos associados, porém muito pouco é abordado em relação ao manejo da ventilação mecânica durante a intervenção. Elevada fração inspirada de oxigênio (FiO2) é reconhecida na indução de atelectasia por absorção e pode desempenhar um papel relevante na modulação de redução volumétrica após oclusão seletiva. Atualmente não se monitora os efeitos regionais da ELVR com EBV em tempo real. A tomografia de impedância elétrica (TIE) é uma ferramenta de imagem não-invasiva e sem radiação que fornece dados regionais em tempo real de variação de volume pulmonar por meio de uma cinta de eletrodos aplicadas no tórax. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo é usar a TIE para avaliar a influência da FiO2 na ELVR com EBV em um modelo experimental de pulmão normal suíno, animal que não possui ventilação colateral. Métodos - 5 suínos foram submetidos a um estudo cruzado de oclusão do lobo inferior esquerdo por dois métodos, válvulas unidirecionais (válvulas) e cateter-balão intrabronquial (balão), com FiO2 de 50% e 100% por 15 minutos em cada etapa. O balão serviu como um controle, com oclusão assegurada por visão direta via broncoscópio e medida da pressão expiratória distal à oclusão em um animal representativo. A pressão expiratória positiva final usada foi titulada pela TIE para cada animal e recrutamento alveolar foi realizado ao final de cada etapa para reverter o colapso induzido. Foram analisados o mínimo Z (MinZ), como estimativa do volume pulmonar ao final da expiração, e o DeltaZ, variação cíclica proporcional ao volume corrente, ambos expressos em unidades arbitrárias de variação relativa, desde antes da oclusão (Pré) e em cada minuto do momento da oclusão (T0) até 15 minutos (T15). Em um animal adicional foi realizada aquisição simultânea de tomografia computadorizada (TC) e TIE para quantificação do conteúdo de gás. Em todas as análises as regiões de interesse foram direita (Dir) e esquerda (Esq). Resultados - Houve redução rápida e progressiva do MinZ Esq após oclusão com balão, sendo a magnitude quase 3 vezes maior na FiO2 de 100% comparada a 50% (p < 0,001). Com válvulas a 50% o MinZ Esq apresentou redução inicial, mas teve incremento progressivo de forma que em T15 não mostrou diferença em relação ao Pré (p=0,20). Em média, o MinZ Dir não sofreu alteração significativa. Os dados da TC e pressão distal tiveram padrão similar aos achados de MinZ da TIE. O DeltaZ Esq apresentou redução imediata após oclusão e se manteve estável ao longo dos 15 minutos, sem diferença entre as FiO2 em cada método de oclusão. Conclusão- FiO2 a 100% promove maior taxa de redução volumétrica secundária a oclusão lobar seletiva quando comparado a 50% e a TIE apresentou resultados coerentes e concordantes com métodos complementares / Introduction - Patients with advanced pulmonary emphysema undergoing endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) with one-way endobronchial valves (EBV) present better results when the treated lobe has negative collateral ventilation and lobar atelectasis is achieved. However, the positive response of deflation is associated with a higher occurrence of pneumothorax in this population. Recent recommendations emphasize the importance of intra- and postoperative procedures that seek to minimize the associated risks, but very little is addressed regarding the management of mechanical ventilation during the intervention. High inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) is known to induce atelectasis by absorption and may play a relevant role in the modulation of volumetric reduction after selective occlusion. Currently, regional effects of ELVR with EBV is not monitored in real-time. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive and radiation-free imaging tool that provides regional real-time lung volume variation data by means of an electrode belt applied to the chest. In this context, the objective of this study is to use EIT to evaluate the influence of FiO2 on ELVR with EBV in an experimental normal lung swine model, an animal that lacks collateral ventilation. Methods - Five pigs were used in a crossover study of left lower lobe occlusion by two methods, one-way valves (valves) and intrabronchial balloon catheter (balloon), with FiO2 of 50% and 100% for 15 minutes at each stage. The balloon served as a control, where occlusion was ensured by direct bronchoscopic inspection and allowed a measurement of expiratory pressure distal to the occlusion in a representative animal. The positive end-expiratory pressure used was titrated by EIT for each animal and alveolar recruitment was performed at the end of each step to reverse the induced collapse. Minimum impedance value (MinZ) was recorded as an estimate of end-expiratory lung volume and tidal impedance variation (DeltaZ) as proportional to tidal volume, both expressed in arbitrary units of relative variation, from pre-occlusion (Pre) and every minute since occlusion (T0) up to 15 minutes (T15). In an additional animal, simultaneous acquisition of computed tomography (CT) and EIT was performed to quantify gas content. In all the analysis, regions of interest were right (R) and left (L). Results - There was a rapid and progressive reduction of MinZ-L after occlusion, with almost 3 times greater magnitude in FiO2 100% compared to 50% (p < 0.001). With valves at 50%, the MinZ-L presented initial reduction, but had a progressive increase so that in T15 there was no difference in relation to Pre (p = 0.20). On average, MinZ-R did not change significantly. CT and distal pressure data were consistent with EIT MinZ findings. DeltaZ-L presented immediate reduction after occlusion and remained stable throughout all 15 minutes, with no difference between FiO2 in each method of occlusion. Conclusion- FiO2 of 100% promotes greater rate of volumetric reduction following selective lobar occlusion when compared to 50%, and EIT presented coherent results in agreement with complementary methods
