|
| A partial response was defined as clinically meaningful improvement in attributable symptoms and signs, as well as in attributable abnormalities detected by radiography, bronchoscopy, endoscopy or other procedures. |
|
| Bronchography is rarely performed, as it has been made obsolete with improvements in computed tomography and bronchoscopy. |

|
| Operative tracheoscopy and bronchoscopy revealed the presence of granulation tissue, which was resected from the area of the tracheotomy. |
|
| Fiberoptic bronchoscopy showed no endobronchial lesions, and bronchial curetting and washing were negative for malignant cells. |
|
| Foreign body aspiration may require otorhinolaryngology consultation for rigid bronchoscopy. |
|
| Occasionally, they also undergo invasive procedures, like a bronchoscopy or a biopsy, or something else unpleasant, such as being deprived of sleep, wearing a rectal probe, or having allergens sprayed in their faces. |
|
| In fact, 10 percent of the choking cases studied led to hospitalization, and many of those required a bronchoscopy, a surgical procedure using anesthesia to remove the food from the airway. |
|
| She told us he required a bronchoscopy, when a camera is inserted to determine how far it the disease has spread. |
|
| An additional specimen, the first one obtained, taken from a bronchoscopy on March 8 at an Atlanta hospital, is no longer available for retesting, Dr. Cohen said. |
|
|
|
| Endoscopy is the most commonly used method for image-guided minimally invasive procedures, for example, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy, laparoscopy, rhinoscopy. |
|
| A slightly more invasive tool that also provides a wealth of information is bronchoscopy and bronchiolar lavage. |
|
| For most flexible bronchoscopies, a neuroloept anaesthetic could be considered but for rigid bronchoscopy, general anaesthesia is mandatory. |
|
| An urgent procedure was done to remove the bread tag under general anaesthesia via a combination of flexible and rigid bronchoscopy. |
