Abstract:Objective To explore the value of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary atelectasis in children.Methods A total of 226 hospitalized children with localized atelectasis confirmed by X-ray or pulmonary CT were divided into bronchoscopy group (n=189) and control group (n=37). The results of fiberoptic bronchoscopy group were compared with control group.Results In bronchoscopy group(189 patients), flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed 222 times. Bronchial mucosal inflammatory changes were found in all the 189 cases, mucous sputum formation in 73 cases, tracheal or bronchial softening in 21 cases, bronchial stenosis or abnormal opening in 11 cases, tracheobronchial foreign body in 9 cases, bronchial neoplasia in 3 cases, tracheal bronchus in 2 cases, and anterior tracheal hemangioma in 1 case . During their stay in hospital, all the cases underwent lavages in the bronchoscopy group, which showed that the lesion had completely expanded in 146 cases, partially expanded in 27 cases, and remained unchanged in 7 cases,compared with 17 cases, 14 cases and 6 cases respectively in control group. There was significant difference between the two groups. The average length of hospital stay was(12.1?.2)days in bronchoscopy group and(16.2?.4)days in control group, respectively. There was significant difference between the two groups. There was not any respiratory arrest or hemodynamic changes in bronchoscopy groups.Conclusion Fibrobronchoscopy can help identify the cause of atelectasis, promote the reexpansion of the lesion, shorten the average length of hospital stay, and ensure safety.
