#Bronchoscopy
Oh that's a good question. I don't know but I just looked it up: Autopsy and bronchoscopy studies show that dark carbon pigment and dust-laden macrophages (dust cells) can remain trapped in lung tissue and subepithelial layers decades after a person stops smoking or from environmental exposure.

why does being uncomfortable and sweaty make me angrier than having an actual bronchoscopy. what tha hell

There are study options with or without bronchoscopy procedures.

💰 Paid up to £2,700 depending on study group.

CONFIRM (Thorax 2026): 155 patients, nodules 20 mm or less. Shape-sensing robotic bronchoscopy + mobile cone-beam CT: tool-in-lesion 154/155, yield 89%, sensitivity 91.5%, zero pneumothorax, two grade 3 bleeds.

Transthoracic-biopsy results with better safety.

"... respiratory system.
Medical procedures like intubation, bronchoscopy, drug delivery, assisted breathing, etc, may generate aerosols containing Ebola virus, which can be inhaled and deposited throughout the respiratory system."

That’s good at least, sorry you’re dealing with this. There are a lot of chronic and hard to treat lung bugs like mycobacterium avium and pseudomonas around now, I hope you can figure out the cause and get a treatment plan in place soon (ideally without having to do a bronchoscopy to get a culture…)

Lung cancer is currently the leading cause of death from malignancies. Early diagnosis improves survival rates and can be achieved with navigational bronchoscopy platforms to guide lung biopsy. B. Stretch et al. 🫁 #BJAEd #Airway www.bjaed.org/article/S205...
Anaesthesia for diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy was first described in 1897 when Gustav Killian used a rigid bronchoscope to remove a pork bone from a farmer’s right main bronchus after topicalisation of the airways with cocaine.1 Dr…

No, just a very highly accomplished bronchoscopy program with fellows needing to train as well.

Sustained breath holding while taking lung nodule biopsies by robotic bronchoscopy didn't improve diagnostic yield, a small randomized trial showed. #CHEST2026 @accpchest.bsky.social

Breath Hold Not Linked to Better Lung Lesion Biopsy Yield
Randomized trial suggests no difference in robotic bronchoscopy setting

How can #bronchoscopy sedation be made safer without compromising breathing?

Remimazolam-remifentanil reduced #RespiratoryDepression (11.1% vs. 33.3%) and #hypotension compared with propofol-remifentanil in a randomized trial. #medsky

Could a 2 mm robot navigate deep into the lungs, then stiffen for intervention?
Led by Tianqi Huang and Boyu Zhang at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the study developed a magnetic bronchoscopy catheter with multi segment variable stiffness.

yeah sure what *if* i’ve given myself invisible nodules on my vocal chords whose only symptom is that they’ll make voice training completely impossible? yes, this absolutely warrants asking the gp for a bronchoscopy. no, you’re not just dehydrated
they should invent symptoms of health anxiety that don’t manifest psychosomatically as symptoms of the disease i’m worried i have today

Lol! In one of my town halls with @panagis.bsky.social, caption of bronchoscopy came out as Abron Cosby. You know, the newest member of the Lakers. 😂

Vatican spokesman says that three tests led to the Pope's surgery: a robotic bronchoscopy with biopsy, a chest CT scan with contrast, and a PET scan. Regarding final results regarding removed tumor, spokesman says : “We will have to wait for the doctors' timing; they will decide.”
