Brochoscopic Airway Clearance Therapy vs. Conventional Sputum Aspiration: The Future of Flexible Brochoscopes in Intensive Care Units?

(1) Background: The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of bronchoscopic airway clearance therapy (B-ACT) on severe pneumonia (SP) patients with invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in the intensive care unit (ICU). (2) Methods: Our study retrospectively enrolled 49 patients with s...

description (1) Background: The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of bronchoscopic airway clearance therapy (B-ACT) on severe pneumonia (SP) patients with invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in the intensive care unit (ICU). (2) Methods: Our study retrospectively enrolled 49 patients with sputum aspiration and 99 patients with B-ACT, and the latter were divided into the ≤once every 3 days group (n = 50) and >once every 3 days group (n = 49). (3) Results: We found most laboratory blood results were significantly improved in the B-ACT group as compared with those in sputum aspiration group (p < 0.05). Patients in the B-ACT group and those in ≤once every 3 days group also had significantly better survival to hospital discharge than those in their counterpart groups (Logrank p < 0.001). In patients with cardiopulmonary diseases or positive cultures for bacteria, the B-ACT group and those in the ≤once every 3 days group had significantly better survival outcomes to discharge than those in their counterpart groups (Logrank p < 0.001). B-ACT and the average frequency of ≤once every 3 days had significantly better impact on survival outcomes than their counterpart groups (HR: 0.444, 95% CI: 0.238–0.829, p = 0.011; HR: 0.285, 95% CI: 0163–0.498, p < 0.001). (4) Conclusions: In the future, flexible bronchoscopes may paly an important role in ACT for SP patients with IMV.
