Great teaching video. Important for operators to realise that the surface layer is often fibrin or fibrosis and won’t provide a diagnostic answer. The ‘real’ biopsies begin after peeling off the surface tissues. Beautifully demonstrated here.
Great work Prof Nguyen doing in many parts of Asia
Prof Nguyen continues his global tour to spread the word on the power of bronchoscopy at the Annual Congress of Vietnam Respiratory Society 2025 in Vietnam at Da Nang! #ReturnOfTheJedi #respiratory #interventionalpulmonology #bronchoscopy #medicine

#PLEURAL_PEARLS_WA 24 Obstructed esophagus/total dysphagia from extrinsic #mesothelioma compression is among the worst complications of this cancer. Look out for dysphagia; refer early for dilatation/stenting @PleuralPOCUS @TheRACP @RCPhysicians @CR_UK @RCRadiologists @Mesouk
Memorable question @wabipconnect #Bali2024 #Pleural Session: Q&A with me + Prof Astoul (pleuroscopy guru): Audience: Prof Astoul what's your best strategy for intercostal hemorrhage from pleuroscopy bx? Prof: Don't know. Never had one; I'm always careful. Ask Gary Lee... 🤣🤔
#PLEURAL_PEARLS_WA 35 Diaphragmatic #pleural reflection extends far below the #lung esp posterio-laterally. Percutaneous hepatic procedures often transgress the pleura; any bleeding or bile leak (see doi.org/10.1002/rcr2.7…) can accumulate as pleural effusion. #LiverTwitter…

#PLEURAL_PEARLS_WA 34 Pneumomediastinum is rare; associated with smoking/inhaled drugs; trauma; iatrogenic procedures. Chest pain, dyspnea, dysphagia often settle with conservative care. Easy to miss on CXR; CT best for diagnosis/see extent. @tsanz_thoracic @AAB_IP…
Very useful
This is a lung pulse seen with #pocus. This is a clever way to rule out a pneumothorax in patients with absent lung sliding. While pneumothorax is a likely cause of absent lung sliding, it can also be seen with pulmonary fibrosis, pleurodesis, or atelectasis. In these latter…
