Analysis of 1 415 children's flexible bronchoscopy manifestation and characteristics / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

Objective This retrospective study was based on 1 415 cases that had been done the flex-ible bronchoscopy examination.The data were analysed to investigate the value of flexible bronchoscope in the children's respiratory system diseases diagnosis,treatment and etiological study.Methods A total of 1 415 cases who admitted from June 2012 to December 2013 were included in the study and they were all met the inclusion criteria,had complete clinical data,done bronchoscope examinations,abnormal in the broncho-scope and diagnosed definitely.The endoscopic manifestation,clinical symptoms,X-ray film,laboratory data were analysed.Results In 1 415 cases,55.4% were boy,and 55.5% were younger than 5 years.Two cases (0.14%)were laryngeal cartilage soften,one case(0.07%)was epiglottic cyst,3 cases(0.21 %)were tra-cheomalacia,25 cases(1.8%)were bronchial foreign bodies,20 cases(1.4%)were tracheal bronchus de-formity,8 cases(5.7%)were tracheal stenosis,two cases(0.14%)were bronchial bridge,5 cases(0.35%) were bronchiolitis obliterans,6 cases (0.42%)were bronchiectasis,one case(0.07%)was immotile cilia syndrome,10 cases (0.71%)were bronchial tuberculosis,one case (0.07%)was aspergillosis,one case (0.07%)was pulmonary hemosiderosis,2 cases (0.14%)were pulmonary arteriovenous fistula,9 cases (0.63%)were plastic bronchitis,1 316 cases(93%)were founded tracheal intima inflammation,including the 350 cases(24.7%)of edema,mucosal folds form,279 cases(19.7%)of mucus plug obstruction,176 cases(12.4%)of suppurative obstruction,355 cases(25.1 %)of tracheal mucosal erosion necrosis,156 ca-ses(1 1.1 %)of wall fibrosis,stenosis,occlusion.Mycoplasma pneumoniae was the most common pathogen dectected in alveolar lavage.We also found that mycoplasma pneumonia easily combined the infection of bac-teria.A total of 1 19(22.7%)cases were no pathogens detected.In 1 415 cases,the main adverse reaction in the operations was hypoxemia caused by airway obstruction.Conclusion Flexible bronchoscopy examination is a very safe and reliable operation in diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases in pediat-rics,and plays an important role in the diagnosis of congenital developmental airway diseases,detection of pneumonia patho-gens and the treatment of lobe pneumonia.
