Interventional treatment of emphysema offers a wide range of surgical and endoscopic options for patients with advanced disease. Multidisciplinary collaboration of pulmonology, thoracic surgery, and imaging disciplines in patient selection, therapy, and follow-up ensures treatment quality. The present joint statement describes the required structur...

Background: Bronchoscopic sampling of bronchoalveolar fluid (BAL) should be safe and effective. Current sampling practice risks loss of sample to the attached negative flow, aerosolisation, or spillage, due to repeated circuit breaks, when replacing sample containers. Such concerns were highlighted during the recent coronavirus pandemic. Objectives...

Background: While peak in- and expiratory flow rates offer valuable information for diagnosis and monitoring in respiratory disease, these indices are usually considered too variable to be routinely used for quantification in clinical practice. Objectives: The aim of the study was to obtain reproducible measurements of maximal inspiratory flow rate...

Background: Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia that is characterized by predominantly upper lobe pleural and subpleural lung parenchymal fibrosis. Pneumothorax is one of the major respiratory complications in PPFE patients; however, its clinical features are poorly understood. Obje...

Background: Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is a minimally invasive technology for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules. However, ENB is limited by the lack of real-time confirmation of various biopsy devices. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) could increase diagnostic yield by allowing real-time confirmation to overcome t...

Background: Diagnostic yield (DY) and safety of computed tomography (CT)- and thoracic ultrasound (TUS)-guided biopsies in the diagnosis of pleural lesions have been investigated in a number of studies, but no synthesis of data from the literature has ever been performed. Objectives: We aimed to provide the first systematic review and meta-analysis...

Background: Although patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) receive poor-quality palliative care, information about the use of palliative sedation (PS) in the last days of life is very scarce. Objectives: To compare the use of PS in hospitalized patients who died from COPD or lung cancer and identify factors correlating with PS ...
