چکیده انگلیسی

SummaryObjectiveDemonstrate the benefits of a multidisciplinary pediatric airway team prepared to evaluate and treat otolaryngology patients with flexible bronchoscopy.DesignCase series.SettingTertiary, academic children’s hospital.Patients10 children (5 male, 5 female age range 2 months–16 years) presenting with complex symptoms potentially referable to large airways.InterventionFlexible bronchoscopy for diagnostic (bronchoalveolar lavage, ciliary biopsy, assess ongoing surgical intervention, and rule in or rule out foreign body; N = 6) or therapeutic (evacuate bronchial mucus plug, laser subglottis when patient has fused cervical spine, and distal instillation [fibrin glue for bronchopleural fistula and dornase alpha for plastic bronchitis]; N = 4).Main outcome measureRetrospectively ask if flexible bronchoscopy and interdisciplinary management improved patient care in these select otolaryngology cases.Results10/10 patients benefited from interdisciplinary management including flexible bronchoscopy.ConclusionOur experience illustrates many uses for flexible bronchoscopy in otolaryngology patients, and suggests that an airway team prepared to use flexible bronchoscopy will create opportunities for improved patient care.
