Evaluation of the patient undergoing respiratory endoscopic procedures
Publicado na Rev Port Pneumol.2012; 18 :48-53 - vol.18 núm 01
Resumo
Resumen
As técnicas endoscópicas podem ser consideradas razoavelmente seguras dado que são amplamente utilizadas e o índice de complicações é extremamente reduzido. Ainda assim, ocorrem complicações e, para as evitar, a avaliação do paciente antes e depois de qualquer intervenção, é da maior importância. Neste artigo, serão abordadas as questões relacionadas com a preparação do paciente e o consentimento esclarecido, a avaliação geral historial médico, medicação actual, exame físico, testes de laboratório, avaliação radiológica e análise da indicação e planeamento. A avaliação após a intervenção também será discutida, para detectar e tratar complicações e determinar a orientação final para o paciente, após a alta.
Existem muito poucos estudos ou publicações actualizados que abordem estas áreas, o nível de evidência permanece baixo e a maioria das recomendações baseiam-se no bom senso e na opinião de peritos.
Palavras-chave: Técnicas endoscópicas. Broncoscopia. Toracoscopia. Pré-avaliação. Pós-avaliação.
Introdução
Introduction
Endoscopic techniques, flexible, rigid bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy are central tools in the evaluation and treatment of respiratory disorders and their use has been steadily growing.The first rigid bronchoscopy was performed in 1897 when Gustav Killian removed a piece of pork bone from the bronchus of a 63-year-old farmer, thus avoiding a tracheotomy.1, 2 IKEDA3 in the late 60s pioneered fiberoptic bronchoscopy as a tool to enter subsegmental bronchi and obtain specimens for early diagnosis of lung cancer. During the last 30 years the flexible bronchoscope has become the diagnostic instrument of choice for visualization of the bronchial tree as it is less invasive, does not require general anaesthesia and provides much better visualization of the smaller peripheral airways. The introduction of laser technology into the tracheobronchial tree and the advent of airway stents in the early 1990s caused a resurgence of rigid bronchoscopy in the management of both benign and malignant central airway obstruction.4, 5, 6
Thoracoscopy began in 1908 with Jacobeus,7 and was extensively used in the treatment of tuberculosis, for pneumothorax induction and lyses of adhesions. When effective treatment for TB was discovered, interest in this technique disappeared. With technical improvements during the 90s, thoracoscopy regained popularity for dealing with undiagnosed pleural effusion.
These techniques can be considered safe since they are widely used and the rate of complications is extremely low.8, 9, 10 A recent retrospective analysis of 23.682 patients undergoing bronchoscopy over a period of 11 years showed a mortality rate of 0.013% with a complication rate of...
