Assessment of Ergonomic Strain and Positioning During Bronchoscopic Procedures: A Feasibility Study Background: Poor ergonomics place health care workers at risk for work-related overuse injuries. Repetitive and prolonged hand maneuvers, such as those performed during endoscopic procedures, may lead to musculoskeletal complaints and work-related injuries. However, the prevalence of health care–related work injuries among physicians is thought to be underreported and there is a paucity of literature investigating the impact of ergonomic strain on bronchoscopy. We designed a feasibility study to explore the differences in ergonomic strain and muscle activity of bronchoscopists. Materials and Methods: A prospective study of bronchoscopic procedures was performed in a simulated environment. Preselected target areas were identified and airway sampling was performed with real-time ergonomic assessment utilizing electromyogram (EMG), grip strength, and musculoskeletal use and motion analysis. Results: Procedural data was obtained for all procedures (78 bronchoscopies by 13 subjects) for both ergonomic and EMG scores. Experienced bronchoscopists demonstrated less EMG burden (P=0.007) and improved ergonomic positioning (P=0.007) during bronchoscopy when compared with less experienced bronchoscopists. Procedures performed with rotational-head bronchoscopes trended toward improved ergonomics (P=0.15) and lower EMG scores (P=0.88). A significant improvement in ergonomic scores was seen with the rotational-head bronchoscope when targeting the left upper lobe (P=0.036). Conclusion: Poor ergonomic positioning and excessive muscle strain appear present within bronchoscopy procedures but may be improved in those with more bronchoscopy experience. Technological advances in bronchoscope design may also have the potential to improve procedural ergonomics. Additional prospective studies are warranted to define the long-term impact on bronchoscopic ergonomics.

Programmed Death Ligand 1 Testing of Endobronchial Ultrasound–guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration Samples Acquired For the Diagnosis and Staging of Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Rationale: Immunotherapy has become an integral part of management in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in at least 50% of tumor cells on histologic samples has been correlated with improved efficacy of the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab. A limited number of studies have examined the suitability of endobronchial ultrasound–guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) specimens for assessment of PD-L1 status. Objective: We sought to examine the feasibility and results of PD-L1 testing performed on EBUS-TBNA samples acquired for the diagnosis and staging of NSCLC. Materials and Methods: Patients were identified from a prospectively maintained pathology database. Baseline characteristics were tabulated. Hematoxylin and eosin slides were reviewed to categorize cellularity between <100, 100 to 500, and >500 viable tumor cells. Samples were tested using Dako’s PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx kit, with a minimum of 100 viable tumor cells. For patients in whom additional tissue samples were available, the results of PD-L1 testing were compared. Results: PD-L1 testing was attempted on 120 EBUS-TBNA samples. The most common NSCLC subtype was adenocarcinoma (78%). Seventy-six specimens (63%) had a cellularity >500 tumor cells. Among 110 of 120 (92%) patients with an adequate endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) sample, 53 of 110 (48.2%) had high PD-L1 expression, defined as a Tumor Proportion Score ≥50%. EBUS PD-L1 results were concordant with an available histologic sample in 14 of 18 patients (78%), with no false-negative results. Conclusion: PD-L1 testing was feasible in the majority of EBUS-TBNA samples acquired for the diagnosis and staging of NSCLC. Comparison of EBUS results with histologic samples revealed moderate concordance, with no false-negative results. Supported by Rossy Cancer Network Research Fund.

Patient-controlled Sedation During Flexible Bronchoscopy: A Randomized Controlled Trial Background: Patient-controlled sedation (PCS) is a documented method for endoscopic procedures considered to facilitate early recovery. Limited data have been reported, however, on its use during flexible bronchoscopy (FB). Materials and Methods: This study hypothesized that PCS with propofol during FB would facilitate early recovery, with similar bronchoscopist and patient satisfaction compared with nurse-controlled sedation (NCS) with midazolam. A total of 150 patients were randomized 1:1:1 into a control group (premedication with morphine-scopolamine and NCS with midazolam), PCS-MS group (premedication with morphine-scopolamine and PCS with propofol), and PCS-G group (premedication with glycopyrronium and PCS with propofol). Results: The procedures included transbronchial biopsy, transbronchial needle aspiration, cryotherapy/biopsy, and/or multistation endobronchial ultrasound. FB duration values in median (range) were 40 (10 to 80), 39 (12 to 68), and 44 (10 to 82) minutes for the groups NCS, PCS-MS, and PCS-G, respectively. An overall 81% of the patients in the combined PCS groups were ready for discharge (modified Post Anaesthetic Discharge Scoring System, score 10) 2 hours after bronchoscopy compared with 40% in the control group (P<0.0001). Between PCS groups, 96% of the PCS-G group patients were ready for discharge compared with 65% in the PCS-MS group (P=0.0002) at 2 hours. Bronchoscopists’ and patients’ satisfaction scores were high in all groups. Postdischarge quality scores showed no differences among the groups. Conclusion: PCS with propofol during FB is feasible, as it shortened recovery time without compromising procedure conditions for bronchoscopists or patients. A rapid postsedation stabilization of vital signs facilitates surveillance before the patient leaves the hospital. Supported by internal grants from Region of Östergötland, Sweden.

Rigid Mini-Thoracoscopy Versus Semirigid Thoracoscopy in Undiagnosed Exudative Pleural Effusion: The MINT Randomized Controlled Trial Background: There is debate regarding the ideal instrument for medical thoracoscopy. The authors compared rigid mini-thoracoscopy with semirigid thoracoscopy for thoracoscopic pleural biopsy. Methods: Consecutive subjects with undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion were randomized (1:1 ratio) to mini-thoracoscopy or semirigid thoracoscopy groups. The primary objective was a comparison of the diagnostic yield of pleural biopsy. Key secondary outcomes were the comparison of sedative/analgesic dose, operator-rated and patient-rated pain on visual analog scale (VAS), operator-rated overall procedural satisfaction (VAS), pleural biopsy size, and complications between the groups. Results: Of the 88 screened subjects, 73 were randomized: 36 to mini-thoracoscopy and 37 to semirigid thoracoscopy. Diagnostic yield of pleural biopsy in the mini-thoracoscopy (69.4%) and semirigid thoracoscopy groups (81.1%) was similar on intention-to-treat analysis (P=0.25). Although the operator-rated overall procedure satisfaction scores were similar between groups (P=0.87), operator-rated pain [VAS (mean±SD), 43.5±16.7 vs. 31.7±15.8; P<0.001] and patient-rated pain (VAS, 41.9±17.3 vs. 32.1±16.5; P=0.02) scores were greater in the mini-thoracoscopy group. Mean dose of fentanyl and midazolam received was similar between the 2 groups (P=0.28 and 0.68, respectively). Biopsy size was larger in the mini-thoracoscopy group (16.1±4.5 vs. 8.3±2.9 mm; P<0.001). Three minor complications occurred in the mini-thoracoscopy group and 6 in the semirigid thoracoscopy group (P=0.11). There were no serious adverse events or procedure-related mortality. Conclusion: Diagnostic yield of rigid mini-thoracoscopy is not superior to semirigid thoracoscopy. Use of semirigid thoracoscope may provide greater patient comfort.

Predictors of Intraprocedural Respiratory Bronchoscopy Complications Purpose: Sleep apnea can increase adverse outcomes during ambulatory surgery but not during gastrointestinal endoscopy. We hypothesize that STOP-BANG is associated with intraprocedural bronchoscopy respiratory complications. Materials and Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing bronchoscopy under moderate sedation were prospectively administered the STOP-BANG questionnaire. Participants were assessed for intraprocedural complications including hypoxemia (oxygen saturation≤85%), bradypnea (respiratory rate<8), premature procedure cessation as well as the use of nonrebreather mask, bag-mask ventilation, jaw lift/chin tilt, nasal/oral airway, and naloxone administration. Associations were assessed via logistic regression. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used for multivariable model variable selection. Results: The 223 participants—mean age 61.1±15.5 years, body mass index 25.4kg/m2 (interquartile range: 22.4 to 30.7), 50.7% female, and 45.3% inpatient—had a high rate of respiratory complications (37.7%). There were no associations between STOP-BANG score and respiratory complications [odds ratio (OR)=1.07, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.92-1.25]. Asthma was protective in univariable models (OR=0.26, 95% CI: 0.04-0.98), whereas endobronchial ultrasound (OR=2.34, 95% CI: 1.35-4.10) and the number of procedure types (OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.01-1.51) was associated with increased complications. The following factors were associated with respiratory complications in both multivariable and univariate analyses: increasing age (OR=1.28/decade, 95% CI: 1.03-1.61), baseline oxygen use per each liters per minute (OR=1.57, 95% CI: 1.21-2.09), and bronchoscopy duration (OR=1.20/10 min, 95% CI: 1.08-1.33). Conclusion: Bronchoscopy respiratory complications are common. STOP-BANG was not associated with increased immediate bronchoscopy complication risk. Increasing age, oxygen use, and bronchoscopy duration were associated with respiratory complications; increased vigilance in these circumstances may prevent complications.

Combined Thoracoscopic Surgical Stapling and Endobronchial Valve Placement For Lung Volume Reduction With Incomplete Lobar Fissures: An Experimental Pilot Animal Study Background: In patients with severe emphysema and complete fissures, bronchoscopic lung volume reduction with valves reduces target lobe volume providing improvement in respiratory symptoms, lung function, quality of life, and exercise capacity. It is estimated that up to 88% of patients with emphysema have at least 1 incomplete interlobar fissure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of creating a complete fissure with stapling via minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) followed by bronchoscopic valve placement to induce lobar collapse in a swine model. Methods: Chest computed tomography (CT) scans were performed on 2 swine and at least 1 target incomplete fissure was identified. Both swine underwent VATS to complete the target fissure using a surgical stapler, followed by bronchoscopic placement of the Spiration endobronchial valves. A chest CT scan was performed immediately postprocedure. Follow-up bronchoscopy and CT scans were performed 2 weeks after the initial procedure prior to sacrifice. Results: Successful fissure completion was accomplished using VATS and confirmed at postmortem explanted lung gross examination. Flexible bronchoscopy 2 weeks following valve placement showed proper positioning of the valves. Effectiveness of combined procedures was confirmed by a chest CT scan that showed complete atelectasis of the target lobe at 2-week follow-up. There was no perioperative or postoperative morbidity or mortality. Conclusion: Combined minimally invasive VATS fissure stapling with bronchoscopic valve placement to induce lobar atelectasis appears safe and feasible in the swine model. Future research in humans using a combined procedure is needed to confirm safety and clinical efficacy. A.M. and F.K. contributed equally. Supported by Olympus Respiratory America.

Physician Practice Patterns for Performing Thoracentesis in Patients Taking Anticoagulant Medications Background: Patients undergoing thoracentesis often have comorbid conditions or take medications that potentially put them at higher bleeding risk. Direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use has also increased significantly. There are no published guidelines or consensus on when to perform thoracentesis in patients on anticoagulants. Recent studies support the safety of a more liberal approach for thoracentesis among patients with coagulopathy. Methods: We conducted a survey to ascertain the practices of physicians regarding thoracentesis in patients with increased bleeding risk. The survey was administered to the email distribution lists of the American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology and of the American Thoracic Society. Results: The survey was completed by 256 attending physicians. Most of them were general pulmonologists practicing at academic medical centers. Most of them would perform a thoracentesis in patients receiving acetylsalicylic acid or prophylactic doses of unfractionated heparin or low molecular weight heparin (96%, 89%, and 88%, respectively). Half of the respondents would perform a thoracentesis in patients on antiplatelet medications (clopidogrel and ticagrelor, 51%; ticlopidine, 53%). A minority would perform thoracentesis in patients on direct oral anticoagulants or infused thrombin inhibitors (19% and 12%, respectively). The only subgroup that had a higher proclivity for performing thoracentesis without holding medications were attending physicians practicing for under 10 years. Relative to noninterventional pulmonologists, there were no significant differences in the responses of interventional pulmonologists. Conclusion: There was variation in the practice patterns of attending physicians in performing thoracentesis in patients with elevated bleeding risk. Further data and guidelines regarding the safety of thoracentesis in these patients are needed.

Pleural Fluid Cytokine Levels at Baseline and Over Time are Associated With Time to IPC Removal: An Exploratory Study Background: The behavior of pleural fluid cytokine (PFCs) levels and their association with pleurodesis after indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) placement is unknown. Objective: A prospective exploratory study was conducted to obtain preliminary data on PFC levels after IPC placement. Methods: The PFC panel consisted of 4 cytokines [interleukin -8 (IL-8), vascular endothelial growth factor, total (but not activated) transforming growth factor betas, and basic fibroblast growth factor], measured across 5 time points (T0: insertion; T1: 24 to 48 h; T2: 72 to 96 h; T3: 1 wk; and T4: 2 wk). Profile plots were used to identify patterns of change of PFC levels. Correlation matrices for each PFC over time were computed, and area under the curve (AUC) categories were used to compare the cumulative incidence of IPC removal. Auto pleurodesis was defined as elective catheter removal because of decreased drainage within 90 days of insertion. Results: A total of 22 patients provided complete data. Except for IL-8, the majority of PFCs demonstrated strong positive correlations across measurement time points. Patients with high AUCs for IL-8, basic fibroblast growth factor, and vascular endothelial growth factor had a higher cumulative incidence of IPC removal by 90 days than did patients with low AUCs. Conclusion: This is the first study to evaluate longitudinal changes of pleural cytokine levels with respect to the likelihood of IPC removal and provide early evidence that the cytokine profile may be associated with the outcome of pleurodesis induced by IPCs. However, this is an exploratory study and further studies are needed to assess if these findings can be validated in further studies.

Diagnostic Utility and Safety of Endobronchial Ultrasound–guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration in the Elderly Background: There is limited evidence regarding the effect of age on the specimen adequacy, positivity rate of specimen on cytology (PR), and safety of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA). The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of EBUS-TBNA in the elderly. Methods: This was a retrospective study of subjects who underwent EBUS-TBNA. We compare the specimen adequacy, PR, and the incidence of complications in the elderly (age 65 y and above) versus the younger subjects (age younger than 65 y). A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors affecting the diagnostic yield. Results: Of the 1816 subjects, 258 (14.2%) were elderly. The specimen adequacy was similar between the old and the young (93.5% vs. 96.3%, P=0.053). The PR in the elderly (48.8%) was lower (P<0.001) than the younger subjects (66.7%). Among those with a definite diagnosis made on EBUS-TBNA, 55.4% of the older subjects had malignancy, while 82.4% of the young had granulomatous disorders. The incidence of complications was similar in the 2 groups (3.9% vs. 4.4%, P=0.87). The specimen adequacy, PR and complications were also similar among the different age groups within the older population (65 to 69, 70 to 74, 75 to 79, and 80 y and above). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, older age, the number of lymph nodes sampled, the lymph node size, and needle reuse influenced the PR. Conclusion: EBUS-TBNA appears to have a similar specimen adequacy and safety but a lower PR in the elderly as compared with the younger individuals.

A Single Center Experience of Feasibility of a Novel Self-Expanding Metallic Airway Stent (Bonastent): A Case Study Background: Central airway obstruction (CAO) is defined as obstruction of the airway lumen in the trachea or mainstem bronchi, most commonly due to primary or metastatic malignancy; and is classified as extraluminal, endoluminal, or mixed. The majority of malignant CAO are advanced stage and require a multimodality palliative approach, including stent placement. We describe a retrospective review of a novel self-expandable metallic stent, the Bonastent; a fully covered, nitinol-braided airway stent which conforms to airway tortuosity without loss of diameter in the management of CAO. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients with CAO who underwent Bonastent placement at a single center between February 2017 and March 2018. Ease of stent placement, short-term complications (within 24 h of stent placement) and long-term complications (within 3 mo of stent placement) were recorded. Results: Eleven patients were identified, reviewed and included in the study. Thirteen stents in 11 patients were placed for predominantly malignant CAO. One patient had a short-term complication of stent migration. Four patients had long-term complications; of which 3 patients had in-stent mucus impaction requiring bronchoscopy. In our study, the stent-related complication rates were comparable to the reported literature. Conclusion: In our experience, Bonastent is an easy to use option which adds to the armamentarium of the self-expandable metallic stent to treat malignant CAO.
