ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of bronchoscopy lung biopsy Combined with brush cytology .Methods Collected 113 cases of diffuse or clinical cases of peripheral pulmonary disease examined by bronchoscopy lung biopsy Combined with brush cytology with no X-ray guiding during January 2011 to December 2012 .And the inspection results and the corresponding clini-cal data were retrospectively analyzed.Results In 113 cases 73 cases made a definite diagnosis, diagnostic positive rate was 64.60% in total, include 96.02% of diffuse patchy shadows, 72.13% of diffuse millet or nodular, 54.12% of local infiltration fo-cal, 32.11% of diffuse grid or ground glass honeycomb lesion, 28.26% of local tumor nodules.Conclusion There is significantly clinical diagnosis value of bronchoscopy lung biopsy Combined with brush cytology to examine diffuse and peripheral pulmonary dis-ease.
ABSTRACT
173 patients admitted to the Respiratory Department of Bach Mai Hospital between 12/2000 to 7/2001 were underwent flexible bronchoscopy. The results showed that the rate of bronchial cancer was highest (57.8%). Among that, the rate of central bronchial cancer was 87% and the rate of periperal bronchial cancer was 13%. Lung tuberculosis was 8.1% and chronic bronchitis is 9.8%. Bronchoscopy was useful in diagnosing some other conditions such as asthma, sarcoidosis, laryngoptosis etc. Bronchoscopy combined with bronchial fluid aspiration produced high diagnostic value in bronchial tuberculosis. Rate of smokers in bronchial cancer patients was 60%. The higher level of smoking, the more likely to be suffered from lung cancer.
