Background: Interventional bronchopulmonology is a relatively new and rapidly developing field of medicine that utilizes bronchoscopy in conjunction with other specialized procedures to diagnose and treat pulmonary and respiratory diseases. Despite some progress in thoracic surgery and bronchology, primarily due to the development of minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment methods, the high mortality rate, sometimes reaching 66.7% for certain conditions (pulmonary hemorrhage), indicates the existence of a number of unresolved issues.
Objective: Evaluation of the role of interventional bronchopulmonology methods in the examination and treatment of patients in the Differential Diagnostic Pulmonology Department of a Tuberculosis Dispensary.
Materials and methods: The results of 4,921 bronchological examinations performed on patients in the Differential Diagnostic Pulmonology Department of Tuberculosis Dispensary of the Ministry of Health of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic from 2018 to 2024 were analyzed.
Results: Diagnostic tests were informative in 1,596 cases (79.3%), allowing for the correct diagnosis and the prescription of appropriate treatment. The therapeutic effect of bronchological interventions was assessed immediately after the procedure, upon discharge, and at follow-up. It was achieved in 163 cases (82.7%), allowing for the definitive cure of 122 patients and the transfer of 41 patients to specialized hospitals after stabilization of their pathological process.
Conclusion: These results primarily demonstrate the potential for broader use of interventional bronchopulmonology technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary patients.
