Principles Of Interventional Bronchoscopy: An Evidence-Based Guide to Diagnostic, Therapeutic, and Advanced Airway Procedures for Pulmonary Fellows and Clinicians - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Advanced bronchoscopy succeeds before the scope enters the airway. If you need a structured way to connect anatomy, imaging, sedation, sampling, rescue planning, and follow-up, this reference gives you a clear clinical framework.
Principles of Interventional Bronchoscopy is written for pulmonary and critical care trainees, interventional pulmonology fellows, and clinicians who perform, assist with, or supervise complex bronchoscopic work. Across 18 chapters plus practical appendices, you move from foundations and airway anatomy to flexible and rigid platforms, EBUS, peripheral lesion localization, robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, tissue acquisition, central airway obstruction, ablation, stents, hemoptysis control, emphysema therapies, special populations, complications, quality, and training.
The organization is competency based, with question-form sections that keep attention on real procedural decisions. Recurring safety and evidence features help you separate what a device can do from what a patient actually needs, making the text useful for review, team discussion, and case preparation.
Inside this book, you'll discover:

• Build a procedure-ready mental model that links indication, patient selection, imaging review, anesthetic strategy, equipment choice, specimen handling, and recovery planning.
• Master airway orientation through tracheobronchial anatomy, CT review, PET/CT context, three-dimensional reconstruction, virtual bronchoscopy, and practical route planning.
• Apply structured decision-making for flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, EBUS staging, peripheral lesion access, robotic platforms, and tissue acquisition workflows.
• Strengthen preparation for central airway obstruction, mechanical debulking, dilation, ablation, stent placement, bleeding control, valves, fistulas, and persistent air leaks.
• Recognize safety thresholds, complication patterns, rescue priorities, quality indicators, competency expectations, and team communication steps before risk escalates
• Use focused appendices for airway and nodal anatomy, equipment selection, prosthesis planning, and emergency management when you need rapid review.
