Nasal insertion is the preferred method for non-intubated patients in flexible bronchoscopy; however, the relatively narrow nasal cavity results in difficulties related to bronchoscope insertion. This study aimed to investigate whether pre-operative nasal probe tests could reduce the time to pass the glottis, improve the first-pass success rate and patients' tolerance, and reduce postoperative bleeding.
This three-arm prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted in a tertiary hospital between May and October 2020. Three hundred patients requiring diagnosis and treatment using flexible bronchoscopy were randomly allocated to three groups: control group, simple cotton bud detection group (CD group), and adrenaline + lidocaine detection group (AD group). The primary outcome was the time to pass the glottis. Secondary outcomes included the first-pass success rate, the patients' tolerance scores, and post-operative bleeding. One-way analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test, and Bonferroni's multiple comparison tests were used in this study.
In total, 189 men and 111 women were enrolled in this study, with a mean age of 55.72 ± 12.86 years. The insertion time was significantly shorter in the AD group than in the control group (18.00 s [12.00-26.50 s] vs . 24.00 s [14.50-45.50 s], P = 0.005). Both the AD (99% vs . 83%, χ2 = 15.62, P < 0.001) and CD groups (94% vs . 83%, χ2 = 5.94, P = 0.015) had a significantly higher first-pass success rate than the control group. Compared with the control group, post-operative bleeding (1% vs . 13%, χ2 = 11.06, P < 0.001) was significantly lower in the AD group. However, no significant difference was found in the patients' tolerance scores.
Pre-operative nasal cavity probe tests especially with adrenaline and lidocaine during flexible bronchoscopy can significantly reduce the time to pass the glottis, improve the first-pass success rate, and reduce post-operative nasal bleeding. Pre-operative nasal probe tests are recommended as a time-saving procedure for patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy.

经鼻插入是无插管患者行软性支气管镜检查的首选方法;然而,相对狭窄的鼻腔会导致支气管镜插入困难。本研究旨在探讨术前鼻探针检查是否能减少通过声门的时间,提高首次通过成功率和患者耐受性,并减少术后出血。
这是一项于 2020 年 5 月至 10 月在一家三级医院进行的三臂前瞻性随机对照试验。将 300 名需要通过软性支气管镜进行诊断和治疗的患者随机分为三组:对照组、单纯棉拭子检测组(CD 组)和肾上腺素+利多卡因检测组(AD 组)。主要结局是通过声门的时间。次要结局包括首次通过成功率、患者耐受性评分和术后出血。本研究采用单因素方差分析、Kruskal-Wallis H 检验、卡方检验、Fisher 确切检验和 Bonferroni 多重比较检验。
共纳入 189 名男性和 111 名女性患者,平均年龄为 55.72±12.86 岁。AD 组的插入时间明显短于对照组(18.00 s [12.00-26.50 s] 比 24.00 s [14.50-45.50 s],P=0.005)。AD 组(99%比 83%,χ2=15.62,P<0.001)和 CD 组(94%比 83%,χ2=5.94,P=0.015)的首次通过成功率均明显高于对照组。与对照组相比,AD 组术后出血(1%比 13%,χ2=11.06,P<0.001)明显减少。然而,患者的耐受评分无显著差异。
术前鼻腔探针检查,特别是在软性支气管镜检查中使用肾上腺素和利多卡因,可以显著减少通过声门的时间,提高首次通过成功率,并减少术后鼻腔出血。建议术前鼻腔探针检查作为一种节省时间的方法,用于行软性支气管镜检查的患者。
