Overview

Retrospective review analyzes complications and outcomes of bronchoscopy in ICU patients, indicating its efficacy and safety.

Key Points

  • Bronchoscopy achieved complete or partial resolution of atelectasis in 92.6% of cases, demonstrating its effectiveness.
  • Infectious pathogens were found in 34.8% of bronchoscopy procedures, highlighting diagnostic capabilities.
  • The most common complication was hypoxemia at 12.8%, with careful oxygen support strategies shown to mitigate risks.
  • No serious adverse events occurred, suggesting bronchoscopy is safe when performed by experienced teams.
