Background: Bronchiectasis is usually caused by pulmonary infections and bronchial obstructions. It is still a serious problem in developing countries, as our country. We reviewed the morbidity and mortal-ity rates and outcomes of bronchiectasis surgical treatment. Patients and methods: Between years 2000 and 2016, one hundred and seven (107) patients, sixty nine (69) of whom female and thirty eight (38) male underwent pulmonary resection for bronchiecta-sis. The mean age was 35years (range, 13–66 years). Mean duration of symptoms was 12 years. Results: Symptoms were copious amount of purulent sputum in 84 patients, expectoration of foul-smelling sputum in 72, haemoptysis in 21 and cough in all patients. The indications for pulmonary resection were: medical therapy failure in eighty two (82) patients, massive haemoptysis in eighteen and lung abscess in seven (7) patients. The disease was bilateral in twenty seven (27) patients and mainly confined in the lower lobe. Eighty six (86) patients had a lobectomy, 7 had a segmentectomy, two patients right pneumonectomy. Operative morbidity was seen in 47 patients (43.9 %) and mor-tality in two (2) patients. Follow-up was complete in 97 patients with a mean of 5 years. Overall, 78 patients were asymptomatic after surgical treatment; symptoms were improved in 24, and unchanged or worse in 5. Conclusions: Surgical treatment of bronchiectasis is more effective in patient with localized disease. It is satisfactory with acceptable ratio of morbidity and mortality.

History Of

A 47-year-old Caucasian man on long-standing antifungal therapy for chronic necrotising aspergillosis and a history of recurrent pseudomonas pneumonias presented to the outpatient pulmonary clinic with dyspnoea and chest discomfort for 3 days. A CT angiography of the chest demonstrated angioinvasion from the previously noted left upper lobe cavitary lesion into the left main pulmonary artery, along with new consolidating lesions. Due to the high risk for massive haemoptysis, he was evaluated by thoracic surgery and underwent a successful left pneumonectomy. As invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is associated with high mortality, surgical intervention should always be considered, especially in those who develop extensive disease, despite being on aggressive antifungal therapy. Though minimally described in literature, invasive pulmonary pseudomonas also carries a high mortality risk. In our patient, cultures from the resected lung only demonstrated Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

This chapter on respiratory medicine contains 12 clinical Short Answer Questions (SAQs) with explanations and sources for further reading. Possible disorders and their accompanying symptoms of respiratory origin that may present in the emergency department include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, and massive haemoptysis. It will be up to the emergency doctor to assess, diagnose, and decide upon a treatment path for each patient. The cases described in this chapter are all situations any emergency doctor is likely to encounter at some point in his or her career. The material in this chapter will greatly aid revision for the Final FRCEM examination.

Recurrent Haemorrhage

Chronic pulmonary tuberculosis may present as massive haemoptysis. Haemoptysis usually originates from the bronchial artery but the pulmonary artery might be the culprit vessel in recurrent haemoptysis. We present a case where bronchial artery embolisation had to be augmented by pulmonary artery coil embolisation for a Rasmussen's aneurysm after recurrent haemoptysis. In cases where recurrent haemorrhage occurs, sources other than the bronchial artery should be considered.
