Bronchoscopic Tools for COPD: Valves, Lung Denervation, and Liquid Nitrogen

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. In patients with emphysema, clinical consequences of hyperinflation is evidenced by: Increased Breathlessness Increased Mortality Decreased Quality of Life All of the above
2. An example of "non-invasive therapy" in patients diagnosed with severe emphysema is: Pulmonary Rehab First hand Smoking Sedentary lifestyle Minimal exercise
3. Which of the following would be considered a “benefit” when treating hyperinflation with LVRS? Pulmonary and cardiac morbidity Associated mortality Improves lung function, exercise performance and quality of life Limited access
4. LVRC is a type of tissue compression bronchoscopic therapy in which the diseased lung is reduced by: Preventing air from entering the blocked emphysematous segment Allowing the venting of expired gas and bronchial secretions Using heated water vapor to produce a thermal reaction leading to an initial localized inflammatory response Compressing the diseased tissue and allowing expansion of the healthier areas
5. Endobronchial valves (EBVs) can be utilized in patients with: Heterogenous emphysema Both homogenous and heterogenous emphysema Homogenous emphysema None of the above
