Progress in prevention and treatment of interventional bronchoscopy-induced hemorrhage / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Interventional bronchoscopy is widely used in histopathological diagnosis of airway disorders.Hemorrhage is the most frequently encountered and difficult-to-manage complication during bronchoscopy,and massive hemorrhage could be life-threatening.There were differences in the incidence of hemorrhage caused by different interventional procedures.At present,the prevention of bleeding induced by intervention is relatively lacking,and the choice of treatment may be not the same in different endoscopy centers.We review the prevention and treatment of hemorrhage complicated by interventional bronchoscopy in this article,which may help to improve the understanding and management ability of hemorrhage during bronchoscopy.
