We reviewed the records of all patients over the age of 80 years undergoing fibreoptic bronchoscopy in St James's Hospital between May 1982 and May 1986, to assess the safety and clinical usefulness of the procedure in this group of patients. Sixty bronchoscopies were performed in this time, 21 patients had histologically proven bronchogenic carcinoma, oma, one had tuberculosis, and one a benign polyp. There was no mortality and no serious morbidity. We concluded that fibreoptic bronchoscopy is a safe, useful procedure which was helping in planning future management in this group of patients.
我们回顾了1982年5月至1986年5月期间在圣詹姆斯医院接受纤维支气管镜检查的所有80岁以上患者的记录，以评估该检查在这组患者中的安全性和临床实用性。在此期间共进行了60次支气管镜检查，其中21例患者经组织学证实为支气管源性癌，1例为结核，1例为良性息肉。无死亡病例，也无严重并发症。我们得出结论，纤维支气管镜检查是一种安全、有用的检查方法，有助于为这组患者制定未来的治疗方案。
