• Lead Sponsor: Mansoura University

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is the evaluation of using bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation in candidates for fiber-optic bronchoscopy regarding benefits and drawbacks.

Detailed Description

In this study patients who will be candidate for fiber-optic bronchoscopy for diagnostic or therapeutic reasons will be evaluated by the Chest Medicine Department, Mansoura University Hospitals. All patients will be subjected to full history taking, full examination, routine laboratory investigations, arterial blood gases (ABG), chest X-ray, chest computed tomography (CT). Non-invasive ventilation: Group 1 (hypoexemic patient who will undergo bronchoscopy under non- invasive ventilation{NIV}) will be on NIV half an hour prior and throughout the bronchoscopic sampling and after the procedure until reach the baseline criteria, Group 2 (hypoxemic patients who will undergo conventional bronchoscopy ) will be on conventional oxygen therapy half an hour prior and throughout the bronchoscopic sampling and after the procedure until reach the baseline criteria, Group 3 (non- hypoxemic patients who will undergo conventional bronchoscopy ) will be on NIV throughout the bronchoscopic sampling and after the procedure until reach the baseline criteria, Group 4 (non- hypoxemic patients who will undergo conventional bronchoscopy) will be on conventional oxygen therapy throughout the bronchoscopic sampling and after the procedure until reach the baseline criteria.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Evaluation of the changes in oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, dyspnea score and arterial blood gases in bronchoscopy procedure	4 years	Evaluate changes and when to reach base line in each of 1- (SPO2) by pulse oximeter in (percentage %) at base line, 15 minute before, during and immediately after bronchoscopy.; 2-heart rate in (beat/minute) at base line, 15 minute before, during and immediately after bronchoscopy.; 3-respiratory rate in (cycle/minute) at base line, 15 minute before, during and immediately after bronchoscopy.; 4-mean arterial blood pressure in {millimeter/mercury mm/Hg)} at base line, 15 minute before, during and immediately after bronchoscopy.; 5-dyspnea score in {grade 0-3 according to: (mMRC)} 15 minute before and immediately after bronchoscopy.; arterial blood gases (PH, Paco2 in {millimeter/mercury (mm/Hg)}, Pao2 in {millimeter/mercury (mm/Hg)},Spo2 (percentage %) andHco3 in {millimol (mmol/l)} before and after bronchoscopy.; To show effects of using NIV and conventional o2 therapy and using of conventional o2 therapy alone on these parameters in the studied patients in bronchoscopy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Fiber-optic bronchoscopy complications	4 years	The need for intubation, if it occurs within two to eight hours of bronchoscopy, it was considered as a complication possibly related to bronchoscopy. This time span was adopted from previous studies (Hilbertet et al., 2001). Also the existence of complications as hemorrhage, pneumothorax, hypotension, arrhythmia) that occurred during bronchoscopy and in the first 24 hours following bronchoscopy, which could possibly be related to the procedure (Schönhofer et al., 2008).
