Reevaluating the Role of Bronchoscopy Prior to Bronchial Artery Embolization in Nonintubated Patients With Hemoptysis Due to Bronchiectasis and Chronic Pulmonary Infection
Identifying the side of bleeding and deciding the side of embolization is crucial when performing bronchial artery embolization (BAE). A recent CHEST® Pulmonary study sought to determine if bronchoscopy is necessary prior to BAE in nonintubated patients with hemoptysis following bronchiectasis and chronic pulmonary infection.
Causes of Death Among Patients Supported by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Mortality for patients who are critically ill receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support (venovenous or venoarterial) is high, but the proximal causes of death have not been characterized fully. A recent CHEST® Critical Care study characterized the reasons for death in patients who underwent cannulation while receiving venoarterial or venovenous ECMO.
