Pulmonary hemorrhage in fiberoptic transbronchial biopsy
TLDR
A new "wedge" method of transbronchial forceps biopsy is now being utilized in the bronchoscopic unit, and the tip of the flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope is lodged into the appropriate segmental bronchus to tamponade any bleeding and prevent blood from flooding the airway.About:

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the incidence of and risk factors for complications in patients undergoing EBUS-TBNA and show that transbronchial lung biopsy (TBBx) was the only risk factor for complications.

Journal ArticleDOI
Massive hemoptysis. Assessment and management.
TL;DR: The first priorities in treating the patient with massive hemoptysis are to maintain the airway, optimize oxygenation, and stabilize the hemodynamic status, and diagnose and treat the cause of bleeding.

Diagnostic Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy: Techniques and Results of Biopsy in 600 Patients
TL;DR: Six hundred patients underwent diagnostic flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) and the two diseases most frequently encountered were bronchogenic carcinoma and bacterial infection, with an overall 69 percent diagnostic success.

TL;DR: Transbronchial lung biopsy was successful in the histologic confirmation of sarcoidosis in 21 of 23 patients and the only complication was one 20 per cent pneumothorax, which resolved spontaneously.

Transbronchial Lung Biopsy via the Fiberoptic Bronchoscope: Experience with 107 Consecutive Cases and Comparison with Bronchial Brushing
TL;DR: TBB and bronchial brushing via the flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope offer good diagnostic accuracy and a low complication rate in both diffuse and localized lung diseases.

Transbronchial biopsy via flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope; results in 164 patients.
TL;DR: Transbronchial forceps lung biopsy in experienced hands is safe and well tolerated, but the physician must be prepared to handle major complications, especially bleeding, when dealing with patients who have a variety of lung lesions.

Transbronchial lung biopsy via the fiberoptic bronchoscope.
TL;DR: Transbronchial lung biopsy was performed during fiberoptic bronchoscopy in 33 patients and in 26 of 33 cases a clinically consistent or histologically proved diagnosis was made by TBB.
