First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study looked at whether using a thin, flexible tube with a camera (called a fiberoptic bronchoscope) to clean out the lungs could help adults with severe pneumonia who are on a breathing machine. One hundred patients were split into two groups: one got standard care, and the other got standard care plus the scope procedure. The researchers measured how well patients improved, how fast they recovered, and how long they stayed in the ICU.
