Treatment of Tracheobronchial Lesions by Laser Photoresection
TL;DR: One hundred eleven patients underwent 205 laser photo-irradiation treatments using a Neodynium YAG laser with a flexible bronchoscope or an open tube for various tracheobronchial conditions, such as obstructing bronchogenic carcinomas, bronchial adenomas, and postintubation tracheal stenosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bronchoscopic or blind sampling techniques for the diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Laurent Papazian,Pascal Thomas,L Garbe,I. Guignon,X Thirion,J Charrel,C Bollet,Pierre Fuentes,François Gouin +8 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this prospective postmortem study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of bronchoscopic techniques and nonbronchoscopic methods in the diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in patients who died after at least 72 h of mechanical ventilation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benign Tumors of the Tracheobronchial Tree: Endoscopic Characteristics and Role of Laser Resection
TL;DR: In general, benign tumors of the proximal endobronchial tree responded well to laser resection when their endoscopic appearance is recognized and prognosis known, and even when recurrent, repeated procedures can be performed easily with good results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bronchoscopic or Blind Sampling Techniques for Diagnosis of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
L. Papazian,Pascal Thomas,L Garbe,I. Guignon,X Thirion,J Charrel,C Bollet,Pierre Fuentes,F Gouin +8 more
TL;DR: Clinical characteristics of the patients, including post-surgical status, previous trauma, simplified acute physiologic score, APACHE II score, McCabe score, body temperature, white blood cell count, Po2, Pco2, and radiologic score were not able to distinguish patients with pneumonia from those without pneumonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytomegalovirus: An Unexpected Cause of Ventilator-associated Pneumonia
Laurent Papazian,A. Fraisse,L Garbe,Christine Zandotti,Pascal Thomas,Pierre Saux,Gilles Perrin,François Gouin +7 more
TL;DR: The diagnosis of ventilator-associated CMV pneumonia should not be excluded in intensive care patients, even those without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, hematologic malignancy, or immunosuppressive agents on admission.
