Abstract
|
|
|
Transbronchial lung biopsy has been done in 68 patients with various types of lung diseases.
As an initial diagnostic procedure in diffuse and localized lung diseases, transbronchial lung biopsy offers an attractive alternative to open lung biopsy. Recently improvement in the development of medical technology has greatly facilitated the technique of transbronchcal lung biopsy with safe and ease. But we must keep it in mind that transbronchial lung biopsy is not without complication and sometimes potentially serious complication may occur.
This study documents the complications of transbronchial lung biopsy with 8 cases of pneumothorax(11.8%), one case of mediastinal emphysema (1. 5%), 3 cases of hemorrhage (4.4%),
2 cases of cardiac arrythmia(2.9%), but none of them were fatal and they responded well with treatment.
