Abscess Of The LungCategory: BRONCHOSCOPY IN DISEASES OF THE TRACHEA AND BRONCHI Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery If of foreign-body origin, pulmonary abscess almost invariably heals after the removal of the object and a regime of fresh air and rest, without local measures of any kind. Acute pulmonary abscess from other causes may require bronchoscopic drainage and gentle dilatation of the swollen and narrowed bronchi leading to it. Some of these bronchi are practically fistulae. Obstructive granulations should be removed with crushing, not biting forceps. The regular foreign-body forceps are best for this purpose. Caution should be used as to removal of the granulations with which the abscess cavity is filled in chronic cases. The term abscess is usually loosely applied to the condition of drowned lung in which the pus has accumulated in natural passages, and in which there is neither a new wall nor a breaking down of normal walls. Chronic lung-abscess is often successfully treated by weekly bronchoscopic lavage with 20 cc. or more of a warm, normal salt solution, a 1:1000 watery potassium permanganate solution, or a weak iodine solution as in the following formula: Rx. Monochlorphenol (Merck) .12 Lugol's solution 8.00 Normal salt solution 500. Perhaps the best procedure is to precede medicinal applications by the clearing out of the purulent secretions by aspiration with the aspirating bronchoscope and the independent aspirating tube, the latter being inserted into passages too small to enter with the bronchoscope, and the endobronchial instillation of from 10 to 30 cc. of the medicament. The following have been used: Argyrol, 1 per cent watery solution; Silvol, 1 per cent watery solution; Iodoform, oil emulsion 10 per cent; Guaiacol, 10 per cent solution in paraffine oil; Gomenol, 20 per cent solution in oil; or a bismuth subnitrate suspension in oil. Robert M. Lukens and William F. Moore of the Bronchoscopic Clinic report excellent results in post-tonsillectomy abscesses from one tenth of one per cent phenol in normal salt solution with the addition of 2 per cent Lugol's solution. Chlorinated solutions are irritating, and if used, require copious dilution. Liquid petrolatum with a little oil of eucalyptus has been most often the medium.
