“…Patients with comorbidities such as COPD, asthma, neuromuscular diseases, and IPF may have hypoxemia or respiratory failure during FOB. Inhaled bronchodilators should be given before FOB, and these patients should receive supplemental oxygen during and after bronchoscopy [4,5]. Arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia, angina, and cardiac arrest have been reported as cardiovascular complications of bronchoscopy.…”

“…One small prospective trial reported a drop of 13.8% in FEV 1 (baseline 1.37 ± 0.16L) approximately 15 minutes into bronchoscopy (Salisbury et al, 1975). A slightly larger retrospective review reported patients who had a FEV 1 /forced expiratory volume (FVC) ratio less than 50% or an FEV 1 less than one liter with an FEV 1 /FVC ratio less than 69% had a bronchoscopic complication rate of 5% compared to 0.6% of controls with normal spirometric function (Peacock et al, 1994). If the patient requires additional procedures such as bronchoalveolar lavage or transbronchial biopsy and there are concerns for possible respiratory compromise, screening spirometry may also be useful.…”

“…Patients affected by severe COPD with FEV 1 / FVC <50% or FEV 1 <1.2 L are more likely to encounter complications than those with normal functional values [22]. In cases of hypoxemia and/ or hypercapnia, attention must be paid to oxygen supplementation during the procedure and/ or possible sedation which could induce or worsen the latent hypercapnia [23] (Level of evidence: IV).…”
