Resumen

De un total de 1474 broncofibroscopias 101 plantearon problemas de hemorragia. Se presentan los resultados obtenidos en su manejo mediante la instilación de suero salino helado y el taponamiento bronquial con el fibroscopio.

Los lavados repetidos del árbol bronquial con suero salino helado se realizaron en 88 casos y fueron eficaces en 78. El taponamiento con el extremo distal del fibroscopio y aspiración continua resultó ser un buen método de hemostasia en hemorragias procedentes de bronquios segmentarios o más periféricos; en nuestra serie fue siempre eficaz (18/18) y permitió controlar las 8 hemorragias secundarias a biopsias pulmonares transbronquiales.

Se destaca lu sencillez de ambas técnicas, la buena tolerancia por parte del enfermo y el no precisar instrumental endoscópico suplementario.

Summary

Of a total of 1474 bronchofibroscopies, 101 presented problems of hemorrhage. The authors present the results obtained in handiing this problem. by the instillation of cold saline serum and bronchial tamponading with the fibroscope.

Repeated washings of the bronchial tree with cold saline serum were carried out in 88 cases and were effective in 78. Tamponading with the distal extreme of the fibroscope and continuous aspiration was a good method of hemostasis in hemorrhages proceeding from segmentary or more peripherical bronchi. In the authors’ series it was always effective (18/18) and permitted the control of 8 hemorrhages secondary to transbronchial pulmonary biopsies.

The authors emphasize the simplicity of both techniques, the good tolerance by the patient and the fact that supplementary endoscopio instruments are not necessary.
