 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Probe fiber bronchoscopic balloon occlusion therapy in 13 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax [Keywords:] spontaneous exploratory bronchoscopy balloon occlusion Spontaneous pneumothorax is the rupture of lung or visceral pleura, the lungs into the pleural cavity of gas through the gap caused by the disease, the disease is a common respiratory emergency, requiring prompt diagnosis and timely treatment. To explore new methods for the treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax better improve the efficacy, shorten the course, reduce relapse, reduce inpatient costs, hospital use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy (fiberoptic probe and selective bronchial balloon occlusion treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax in 13 cases, a significant effect, are as follows. Materials and Methods 1. General Information Select from December 2005 to December 2007 hospitalized patients with spontaneous pneumothorax in 13 cases, aged 20 to 85 years old, male 10, female 3 cases, 9 cases the left side, right side in 4 cases. All the cases diagnosed in full compliance with spontaneous pneumothorax standard [1], are more moderate pneumothorax. hospitalized immediately after the routine closed thoracic drainage, and then add in the fiberoptic probe downstream selective bronchial balloon occlusion. 2. Treatment All patients in accordance with the conventional bronchoscopy for the preparation and operating procedures, the working channel fiberoptic bronchoscope (gt; = 2.6 mm plug ??? B5 2C-type balloon catheter (expansion diameter 11 mm. First, the remote sub-segmental bronchi exploration, followed by section bronchus, the last lobe bronchus, bronchial lumen with the exploration of different sizes, ranging from the amount of the balloon into the air, in principle, makes the air bag fully inflated by the probe as close to the bronchial wall.
