This third edition offers comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of all areas of interventional pulmonology, a minimally invasive endoscopic method for diagnosing and treating lung disorders. The text is divided into nine sections on the major areas of interventional pulmonology, including basic bronchoscopy, lung cancer staging, tracheobronchial obstructions, endobronchial treatments for asthma and emphysema, as well as a new section on interventional procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chapters explore specific procedures and techniques, including medical thoracoscopy, flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, and electromagnetical navigation with coverage of history, indications and contraindications, up-to-date, evidence-based reviews, and recommendations. The COVID-19 pandemic has also changed medicine in many permanent ways, and that will be considered closely for every intervention. Additionally, there are new chapters on interventions in pediatric patients and artificial intelligence bronchoscopy, two topics that are not frequently covered. This inclusive volume concludes with a look towards both the past and future of interventional pulmonology with experimental techniques currently being tested.
This volume is a must have for pulmonologists, interventional radiologists, thoracic surgeons, pulmonary oncologists, ENT physicians, anesthesiologists, intensive care specialists, and their teams.
