Disease relevance of Bronchography

• CONCLUSIONS: Selective bronchography is a useful tool for predicting whether patients with neoplastic postobstructive atelectasis would benefit from interventional techniques that are directed at lobar reexpansion [1].
• Factors causing changes in pulmonary resistance and dynamic compliance with immunoglobulin (Ig) E anaphylaxis in spontaneously breathing rabbits were assessed in ventilated rabbits using tantalum bronchography and wet-to-dry wt ratios [2].

High impact information on Bronchography

• Bronchography with iotrolan 300 [3].
• Four patients were investigated within two weeks of lung re-expansion by repeat bronchography (three patients) or computed tomography (one patient); in each case the calibre of the airways had returned almost to normal [4].
• We studied the effects of tantalum inhalation bronchography on pulmonary function in 14 normal volunteers [5].
• Inhalation bronchography using powdered calcium ioglycamic acid [6].
• Sixty-six subjects, mainly derived from various occupational groups and one-third of whom admitted to dyspnoea on exertion, have been grouped according to the appearance of their peripheral airways at bronchography with oily propyliodone [7].

Biological context of Bronchography

• Dose-response curves to 10(-10) to 10(-7) mol/kg methacholine (MCh) were generated [at functional residual capacity (FRC)] by repeated intravenous bolus administration using tantalum bronchography after each dose [8].
• In a similar group of patients, also scheduled for diagnostic bronchography, thiopentone anaesthesia, succinylcholine relaxation and laryngotracheal lidocaine spray resulted in a peak blood pressure increase of 36.5/27 mmHg (4.9/3.6 kPa) on passing the tube [9].
• To elucidate the contribution of controlled ventilation, mucociliary clearance was assessed by tantalum bronchography and serial chest roentgenograms in 6 dogs [10].

Anatomical context of Bronchography

• The source of malignant cells in the sputum of patients with no roentgenographic abnormalities can be localized by tantalum bronchography and fiberoptic bronchoscopy [11].
• Thyroid function after bronchography with propyliodone [12].
• Bronchography was performed by insufflating the previously intubated trachea with a mixture of 120 to 200 g of finely powdered barium sulphate mixed with 3 to 7 g of powdered methyl cellulose [13].

Associations of Bronchography with chemical compounds

• Tantalum bronchography was performed on 22 left lungs obtained at necropsy [14].
• IV lidocaine is effective in suppressing the cough reflex of tracheal intubation, extubation, bronchography, bronchoscopy, and laryngoscopy [15].
• Barium sulfate bronchography. Report of a complication [16].
• Letter: Oxygen jet ventilation during bronchography in children [17].
• S-Carboxymethylcysteine (S-CMC) in bronchography technique [18].

Gene context of Bronchography

• Bronchoscopic procedures, including suctioning, BAL, bronchography, and selective drug injection have instead been performed by temporary extubation followed by mask ventilation [19].
• Death associated with bronchography. Question role of heating the contrast agent [20].
• Bronchography is also diagnostic when the branch of horseshoe portion arises from the right bronchus and passes within the lung parenchyma to midline of the lung tissue [21].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Bronchography

• Suitability of and tolerance to Iotrolan 300 in bronchography via the fibreoptic bronchoscope [22].
• In each case the mucolytic agent Carbocysteine was used to increase the effectiveness of postural drainage prior to bronchography [23].
