This document discusses airway stents, which are tube-shaped devices inserted bronchoscopically into airways to treat various large airway diseases. It describes indications for airway stenting including malignant and benign airway obstructions. The main types of stents are silicone, metal, and hybrid stents. The document reviews the techniques for inserting and monitoring airway stents as well as potential complications.
The document discusses the pulmonary interstitium, which is the connective tissue within the lungs. It has three main functions: supporting the lung, fluid balance, and repair/remodeling. The interstitium is made up of a thin portion forming barriers between alveoli and capillaries, and a thick portion where fluid can accumulate. The thick portion contains extracellular matrix, macrophages, and fibroblasts. There are three zones of interstitial tissue: peripheral, axial, and parenchymal. Fluid balance in the interstitium is regulated by Starling forces and leakage can occur if pressures are too high. Remodeling of the matrix is also important for lung biology and chronic inflammation. The document then provides examples of
This document discusses interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with connective tissue diseases (CTDs). It begins by providing background on ILD and defining common presentations. It then discusses the classification of ILD and patterns associated with different CTDs. Common CTDs that can cause ILD are described such as systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and polymyositis/dermatomyositis. Risk factors, pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, investigations including radiography and antibodies, and biomarkers for ILD associated with CTDs are summarized. Specific CT features that can help differentiate CTD-ILD from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are also outlined.
The document discusses updates to pulmonary hypertension in 2023. It summarizes the new ESC/ERS guidelines that define pulmonary hypertension as a mean PAP over 20 mmHg and pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension as a mean PAP over 20 mmHg, PAWP below 15 mmHg, and PVR over 2 wood units. It also discusses the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension, methods of diagnosis including echocardiogram, risk stratification, when treatment is warranted based on hemodynamics, and current treatment approaches and therapeutic targets.
This document discusses the case of a 26-year-old woman who presented with sudden right chest pain and dyspnea. Tests revealed a right pneumothorax and bilateral lung cysts. The most likely diagnosis is lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease that affects women and causes proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the lungs leading to cyst formation and spontaneous pneumothorax. LAM is characterized by recurrent pneumothorax, cough, dyspnea and chylous effusions. Diagnosis involves chest imaging and biopsy showing cystic changes. Treatment options include pleurodesis and lung transplantation for end-stage disease.
This document provides an overview of pulmonary embolism (PE). It discusses the historical context, pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnostic testing and treatment of PE. Some key points include:
- PE is a common cause of preventable death, with over 600,000 cases annually in the US.
- Virchow's triad of hypercoagulability, stasis, and endothelial injury contributes to the development of PE.
- Clinical presentation is often nonspecific, and the classic triad of symptoms occurs in less than 20% of cases.
- Diagnostic testing includes D-dimer, chest CT, ventilation-perfusion scanning and pulmonary angiography. Early treatment with antico
1. Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are rare vascular anomalies where abnormal dilated vessels provide a right-to-left shunt between the pulmonary artery and vein.
2. PAVMs are usually diagnosed through imaging like chest X-ray, CT, or MRI which show dilated vessels. Right-to-left shunting can be detected using echocardiography, oxygen studies, or pulmonary angiography.
3. Treatment involves embolization to occlude the abnormal vessels which successfully treats over 99% of PAVMs. Surgery is an alternative for cases that cannot be embolized or if embolization fails.

1. The document discusses DLCO (diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide), which measures the efficiency of the lungs in transporting oxygen across the alveolar capillary membrane.
2. It describes the single breath hold method for measuring DLCO, which involves inhaling a gas mixture containing carbon monoxide and exhaling into a collection device to measure gas concentrations.
3. DLCO can be lowered in conditions that decrease the surface area for diffusion like emphysema, or increase the thickness of the alveolar capillary membrane like interstitial lung diseases.
- Chest radiography is useful for assessing pulmonary edema, infiltrates, effusions, pneumothorax, and positioning of lines and tubes in intensive care patients. Common findings include air bronchograms, hilar enlargement, Kerley lines, and increased vascular pedicle width.
- Pneumomediastinum is suggested by findings like the continuous diaphragm sign, Naclerio's V sign, and double bronchial wall sign. A pneumothorax may be occult or demonstrated by a pleural line with absent lung markings.
- Proper positioning of central lines is important but can be challenging due to anatomical variability. The tip should lie in the SVC above the pericardial
This document defines non-resolving pneumonia and discusses its causes and diagnostic evaluation. Non-resolving pneumonia is defined as persistence of clinical symptoms and radiographic abnormalities for longer than expected despite adequate antibiotic therapy. Common causes include inappropriate antibiotic therapy, complications of the initial infection, host factors, and presence of resistant or unusual pathogens. A thorough diagnostic evaluation includes assessing treatment response, looking for complications or superinfections, evaluating for unusual organisms, and examining host immune function. Radiological imaging, bronchoscopy with protected specimen brushing or biopsy, and CT-guided biopsies can help identify causative organisms or underlying conditions.
This document discusses the approach to interstitial lung diseases (ILD) and diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD). It begins by reviewing the spectrum of ILD and DPLD, identifying clues from clinical presentation to make a diagnosis, and reviewing common radiographic findings. Key points include that ILD involves the pulmonary interstitium located between the epithelial and endothelial basement membranes. Clinical presentation of DPLD/ILD often involves dyspnea, cough, and abnormal chest imaging. Diagnosis involves considering history, physical exam, pulmonary function tests, imaging like chest radiographs and CT, and tissue sampling. Management depends on the specific diagnosis but may include treatments like corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, anti
Non invasive ventilation in cardiogenic pulmonary edemaSamiaa Sadek
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) is caused by increased hydrostatic pressure in the pulmonary capillaries due to elevated left atrial pressure. This imbalance in hydrostatic and oncotic pressures across the capillary membrane leads to fluid filtration into the lungs. CPE progresses through three stages as fluid accumulates first in the lung interstitium then alveoli, impairing gas exchange. Treatment aims to reduce preload and afterload on the heart along with diuresis. Noninvasive ventilation with CPAP or BiPAP improves oxygenation and reduces workload of breathing by increasing lung volume while also decreasing cardiac preload and afterload.
This document discusses acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It begins with defining ARDS and reviewing its pathophysiology and risk factors. ARDS involves acute inflammation of the alveolar-capillary membrane causing pulmonary edema. Major risk factors include sepsis, trauma, burns, and pneumonia. The document then covers the clinical presentation of ARDS, including dyspnea, hypoxemia, and decreased lung compliance. It emphasizes the importance of identifying and treating the underlying cause, and discusses evidence-based management strategies like lung-protective ventilation with low tidal volumes, application of PEEP, conservative fluid management, and prone positioning.
This document discusses pulmonary manifestations in HIV patients. It begins with an introduction to HIV transmission and risk groups. It then discusses how HIV affects the lungs, causing direct infection and immune dysfunction. Common pulmonary conditions in HIV patients are described, including opportunistic infections like Pneumocystis pneumonia and tuberculosis, which present differently based on CD4 count. Imaging findings for various lung diseases seen in HIV are provided, with examples of abnormalities seen on chest x-ray and CT for conditions like Pneumocystis pneumonia and bacterial/mycobacterial infections. Risk factors, diagnosis and treatment approaches are also summarized.
1) Lung ultrasound is a useful technique for evaluating pulmonary conditions at the bedside with several advantages over other imaging modalities.
2) Normal lung ultrasound findings include lung sliding, the seashore sign, A-lines, and the lung pulse. Absence of lung sliding can indicate a pneumothorax.
3) B-lines appear as laser-like artifacts that arise from the pleural line and indicate excess fluid or interstitial syndrome. A higher number of B-lines correlates with decompensated heart failure.
Reexpansion pulmonary edema is a serious complication after sudden expansion of collapsed lung.Re-expansion pulmonary edema is an uncommon complication following drainage of a pneumothorax , pleural effusion or removal of any space occupying lesion.
The incidence referred is less than 1%, andmortality can reach up to 20%.
This document discusses ventilator induced lung injury (VILI) from barotrauma to biotrauma. It explores how injurious ventilator strategies can increase cytokines and lead to inflammation in isolated rat lung models. High pulmonary vascular flow and pulmonary capillary pressure were shown to promote lung damage, edema, and hemorrhage independent of ventilator settings. A study on isolated perfused rabbit lungs found that high pulmonary vascular flow and low positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) led to increased lung weight gain and hemorrhage scores compared to low flow and high PEEP settings, particularly in a two-hit lung injury model using oleic acid pre-injury.
This document discusses the approach to bullous lung disease. It defines a bulla as a large air-containing space within the lung larger than 1 cm in diameter. Bullae can occur with emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, or in otherwise normal lungs. HRCT is useful for evaluating the size, number and relationships of bullae. Pulmonary function testing may show obstructive lung disease, hyperinflation and reduced diffusion capacity. For surgical candidates, bullectomy or lung volume reduction surgery may be considered to treat symptoms or complications like spontaneous pneumothorax.
This document provides an overview of chest CT, including its advantages over standard x-rays, different types of CT scans, and a systematic approach to interpreting chest CT scans. It discusses interpreting various lung abnormalities visible on CT such as pneumonia, COPD, atelectasis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary embolism, and nodules. Different windows and views used in chest CT are also outlined.
Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital lung malformation where non-functioning lung tissue receives its blood supply from systemic arteries instead of the pulmonary circulation. It can be intralobar, located within a normal lung lobe, or extralobar, located outside the normal lung with its own pleura. Intralobar BPS presents most often in childhood or adulthood with recurrent pulmonary infections, while extralobar BPS usually presents in infancy with respiratory distress and has a higher association with other congenital anomalies. CT angiography is the preferred imaging method to evaluate BPS and delineate the anomalous systemic arterial supply.
This document discusses interstitial lung diseases (ILD), also known as diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD). It provides the following key points:
1. ILD can be caused by over 200 diseases that result in damage to the lung interstitium. Common causes include occupational exposures, collagen vascular diseases, drugs, infections, and idiopathic interstitial pneumonias.
2. Accurately diagnosing ILD requires a multidisciplinary approach including clinical evaluation, radiology such as high-resolution CT, and pathology including surgical lung biopsy.
3. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and
A 78-year-old male presented with cough, breathlessness, chest pain and haemoptysis. He had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis treated 2 years prior. Investigations revealed a cavitary lesion in his left lung containing a fungal mass. He was diagnosed with pulmonary aspergilloma developing in a pre-existing cavity from prior tuberculosis. Pulmonary aspergilloma occurs due to the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus infecting cavities left by healed tuberculosis. It was treated successfully with intravenous amphotericin B and oral itraconazole for 6 months. Relevant examinations and tests are needed to differentiate pulmonary aspergilloma from other conditions like lung cancer and properly

Basra Journal of Surgery, September 2002
Abstract:
Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is endemic in Iraq with its incidence progressively increasing under the influence of the sanction since 1990. Nevertheless, the diagnosis of PTB should not be made easily without the appropriate investigations. Otherwise, the correct diagnosis of important thoracic disorder (sometimes a serious one like malignancy) may be missed. In this study, six patients with different benign and malignant thoracic lesions chosen among many others are presented. All of them were misdiagnosed and five were treated as tuberculosis. The study reminds the clinician in TB endemic areas that TB can be simulated by many thoracic lesions.
Pulmonary resection in basrah: personal experienceAbdulsalam Taha
Basra Journal of Surgery, March 2004
Abstract:
Pulmonary resection is the operation that defines the thoracic surgeon. It represents the appropriate surgical treatment for many pulmonary lesions. This is the first study on pulmonary resection in Basrah, south of Iraq. The study is conducted in the Section of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery in Basrah Teaching Hospital over a 5-year period (August 1996 to July 2001). The aim of the study is to present the personal experience of the author in lung resection, analyze the indications, surgical and anaesthetic management and outcome including morbidity and mortality in view of the literature. Thirty patients (17 males and 13 females) underwent pulmonary resection for different indications were retrospectively analyzed. The results of this study indicate that despite the small number of patients and the difficulties in anaesthetic management, pulmonary resection is practiced safely in Basrah, south of Iraq.
Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) objectively assess lung function using tests such as spirometry, lung volume measurements, and diffusing capacity measurements. PFTs can predict, diagnose, and monitor pulmonary dysfunction. They can distinguish between obstructive and restrictive lung diseases and determine disease severity and treatment responses. PFTs also assess surgical risk and postoperative pulmonary complications. Simple bedside tests include breath counts, cough strength tests, and peak flow measurements. Laboratory PFTs precisely measure volumes, flows, gas exchange, and generate flow-volume loops. Proper interpretation of PFTs involves comparing values to predicted normals.
This document discusses partial liquid ventilation, a technique where the lungs are filled with an oxygenated perfluorochemical liquid at the functional residual capacity during mechanical ventilation. Two key types are discussed: total liquid ventilation where the entire lung is filled with liquid, and partial liquid ventilation where only the FRC is filled. While theoretical advantages include improved oxygenation and recruitment of collapsed alveoli, clinical trials have shown no clear benefits over conventional ventilation and some increased risks. As a result, liquid ventilation is not currently recommended for routine clinical use.
LVRS involves surgically removing portions of emphysematous lung to allow the remaining lung tissue to expand. The NETT trial found LVRS benefits patients with upper lobe-predominant emphysema and low exercise capacity by improving lung function, exercise ability, and quality of life. Candidates for LVRS have severe emphysema, poor exercise capacity, marked lung hyperinflation, and meet criteria for pulmonary function tests, exercise testing, and cardiac/pulmonary evaluations. The procedure aims to improve ventilation/perfusion matching, reduce airway resistance, and allow the chest wall and diaphragm to resume a more normal position.
This document discusses empyema, a type of pleural infection. It begins by outlining the aims and introduction. It then covers the pathogenesis and types of paraneumonic pleural effusions. Diagnosis involves thoracentesis and pleural fluid analysis. Common causative bacteria include streptococcus, staphylococcus aureus, and anaerobes. Treatment requires accurate diagnosis, appropriate antibiotic therapy guided by cultures, drainage of infected material via chest tube, and potential intrapleural therapies. Complications can arise if not properly treated.
The technique of pulmonary resection had dramatically changed from mass ligation of pulmonary hilum to individual ligation of hilar structures and recently to video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. However, the safe performance of lung resection requires a perfect knowledge of hilar anatomy and a technique with which the surgeon is familiar.

Approach to the Solitary Pulmonary Nodule - New Staging System for NSCLC - Ly...Bassel Ericsoussi, MD
1. The document discusses the evaluation and management of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). It outlines the clinical factors that influence the pre-test probability of malignancy for SPNs and diagnostic tools used in evaluation.
2. Management options for SPNs depend on the assessed risk of cancer, ranging from serial CT imaging for low-risk nodules to surgical resection for high-risk nodules to biopsy or PET scan for indeterminate risk. The key is determining the individual patient's risk through clinical and radiological factors.
3. The document also summarizes changes to the TNM staging system for lung cancer implemented in 2010, including revisions to T, N, and M descriptors and stage groupings
Sequelae & Complications of Pneumonectomycairo1957
Pneumonectomy, or surgical removal of an entire lung, carries several potential sequelae and complications. Post-pneumonectomy pulmonary edema, which occurs within 72 hours of surgery and has a mortality rate over 50%, may be due to high oxygen levels or reperfusion injury. Over months, the remaining lung expands and the mediastinum shifts to fill the space, potentially leading to post-pneumonectomy syndrome through tracheal compression years later. Pulmonary function generally declines less than 50% with FEV1 and FVC decreasing the least. Mortality risk depends on preoperative lung function tests and cardiopulmonary exercise capacity.
Hemoptysis is the expectoration of blood from the respiratory tract. It is classified as mild if a small amount of blood is coughed up, while massive hemoptysis involves coughing up more than 200-240 mL of blood in 24 hours and is considered a medical emergency. The blood in hemoptysis can originate from the pulmonary arteries or bronchial arteries. Common causes of hemoptysis include infections like tuberculosis, lung tumors, vascular diseases, cardiac issues, immunological disorders, trauma, chronic airway inflammation, bleeding disorders, and iatrogenic causes stemming from medical procedures.
Thoracic anesthesia presents unique physiological challenges. Careful preoperative evaluation is needed to identify high-risk patients. The lateral position, open pneumothorax, and one-lung ventilation can cause hypoxemia and require attention. Pulmonary function tests help assess risk. During surgery, techniques like double-lumen tubes and lung isolation are used to optimize ventilation while limiting complications. Close monitoring and postoperative care are important.
Haemoptysis, or coughing up blood from the lungs or respiratory tract, can have various causes including infections like tuberculosis, lung cancer, or other chronic lung conditions. The document describes 4 cases of haemoptysis, including a 23-year-old male with a history of TB, a 70-year-old male smoker evaluated for sudden hemoptysis, a 21-year-old male with massive hemoptysis and HIV, and an 80-year-old male referred for dental bleeding workup. Causes, risk factors, presentations, signs, and mechanisms of massive haemoptysis are also outlined.

Thoracoscopy vs laparoscopy technical feasibility and complications in cong...PRAKASH AGARWAL
Thoracoscopy and laparoscopy are minimally invasive surgical techniques that can be used to repair congenital diaphragmatic hernias. Thoracoscopy is typically used to repair Bochdalek hernias while laparoscopy is used for Morgagni and paraesophageal hernias. Both techniques have advantages over open surgery such as reduced pain, faster recovery, and less postoperative ventilation. However, thoracoscopy carries risks of abdominal organ injury during suturing while laparoscopy makes reduction of herniated organs more difficult. The author's experience found thoracoscopy had a higher success rate and fewer complications compared to laparoscopy for CDH repair in selected neonatal patients. Selection criteria and
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses small incisions and an endoscope to visualize the inside of the abdomen. Maintaining an optimal intra-abdominal pressure of 10-13 mmHg during laparoscopy is important for surgical conditions but can increase venous pooling and affect the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Anesthesia aims to minimize these physiological effects through fluid loading, head positioning, and use of carbon dioxide for insufflation due to its rapid absorption. Complications related to increased intra-abdominal pressure include subcutaneous emphysema, pneumothorax, gas embolism, and well-leg compartment syndrome. Careful patient positioning and monitoring are important aspects of anesthesia for lapar
Management of parapneumonic effusion and empyemaDileep Benji
Any pleural effusion associated with bacterial pneumonia,lung abscess or bronchiectasis is defined as parapneumonic effusion.Presence of pus in pleural space is called empyema. Pathogenesis,bacteriology,clinical presentation,diagnosis,management has been described in this powerpoint presentation.
Laparoscopic surgery has several benefits over open surgery such as reduced postoperative pain, quicker recovery times, and fewer wound complications. However, the pneumoperitoneum required for laparoscopy can cause physiological changes that require careful management to avoid risks. Specific patient factors, surgical risks, positioning risks, and effects of the elevated abdominal pressure from the pneumoperitoneum like decreased cardiac output and impaired lung function must be addressed with appropriate anesthesia techniques and postoperative monitoring. Close attention is needed for patients at higher risk of complications during and after laparoscopic procedures.
The document discusses the stepwise management of hemoptysis. It defines hemoptysis and massive hemoptysis. The most common causes in Egypt are discussed. Steps in diagnosis include history, exams, labs, imaging like CXR, CT, bronchoscopy. Treatment depends on localization and cause but may include bronchoscopic interventions, bronchial artery embolization, or surgery. Disease-specific approaches are also outlined. Three case studies are presented to demonstrate tailored management of hemoptysis.
This document describes the case of a 66-year-old male admitted for management of a cavitary lung lesion. He underwent CT-guided drainage of a lung abscess, but subsequently developed an empyema, likely due to contamination during drainage. He required a VATS procedure with debridement and decortication. Key learning points included that lung abscesses usually resolve with antibiotics, but drainage or resection may be needed for complicated cases, and percutaneous drainage carries risks of empyema or fistula formation from contamination.
1) Rib fractures are common injuries from chest trauma and can lead to high morbidity and mortality, especially in elderly patients. Surgical fixation of rib fractures is increasingly being used to manage injuries.
2) For flail chest segments, early surgical stabilization is recommended to reduce respiratory compromise and pain. For multiple simple rib fractures, surgical fixation may decrease pain and recovery time compared to conservative treatment.
3) Early rib fixation within 72 hours of injury may lead to shorter hospital stays and fewer complications like pneumonia compared to later fixation. Surgical stabilization should generally be considered early for displaced or anterior chest wall fractures.
Pulmonary surgeries are performed to remove part or all of the lung, repair lung tissues, or drain fluid from the chest cavity. Common reasons for lung surgery include suspected abnormal growths, infections, trauma, lung replacement, and conditions such as cancer, blebs, or collapsed lungs. The main types of pulmonary surgeries are pneumonectomy (removal of an entire lung), lobectomy (removal of one or more lung lobes), wedge resection, segmentectomy, and sleeve resection. Surgeries are performed by cardiothoracic surgeons through various incisions and can treat conditions like bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, and emphysema. Complications may include nerve damage or deformity.

Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).pptxRacheen Salih
Presentation about video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), which is minimally invasive thoracic surgery that does not use a formal thoracotomy incision, it is principally employed in the management of (pulmonary, mediastinal, and pleural pathology.
- Laparoscopic surgery utilizes carbon dioxide insufflation to create space in the abdomen for visualization, but this causes various physiological effects.
- General anesthesia with endotracheal intubation is the standard to allow ventilatory control and protect the airway during positioning.
- Potential complications include hemodynamic issues, pulmonary complications from gas absorption or positioning, and injuries related to surgical instrumentation or patient positioning. Close communication with the surgeon is important if complications occur to potentially reduce intra-abdominal pressure or convert to an open procedure.
1) Thoracic anesthesia presents unique physiologic challenges including lung mechanics changes with lateral positioning, open pneumothorax risks, and one lung ventilation complications like hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction inhibition.
2) Careful patient evaluation and optimization is important preoperatively, including pulmonary function tests and cardiac evaluation. Intraoperatively, techniques like double lumen tubes, lung isolation, and thoracic epidural analgesia are utilized.
3) Postoperative complications can include pulmonary issues like edema, hemorrhage, or respiratory failure. Prolonged air leaks or bleeding may require chest tube insertion.
