“…Our study shows a diagnostic yield of over 80% in the group evaluated with electrocoagulation-enabled biopsy. These figures are comparable to results from earlier studies using standard biopsy techniques [5,18,19], and suggest that the new approach does not have any significant negative impact on the histopathological diagnosis. The mean number of biopsy samples obtained in this study was 2.92 ±1.46, and it is possible that additional samples could have improved the diagnostic yield further [6].…”

“…Importantly, events with a major clinical impact - including escalations in the level of care, respiratory failure, and failure to achieve the goals of bronchoscopy - were uncommon and similar to those reported in the literature (0.3-6%) [6,24,25,26,27,28,29]. We believe that the high frequency of minor complications in our patients reflects the prospective nature of our recording and rigorous inclusion of even minor events as complications.…”

“…In 1978, Dreisin et al [21] reported an 11% total complication rate, with 5% major complications in 205 prospectively studied flexible bronchoscopies. Sedation data was not rigorously reported in this study.…”
