Event or Problem Description
Olympus reviewed a literature titled, "prophylactic epinephrine attenuates severe bleeding in lung transplantation patients undergoing transbronchial lung biopsy: results of the prophet randomized trial." background: severe hemorrhage is an uncommon yet potentially life-threatening complication of transbronchial lung biopsy.Lung transplantation recipients undergo multiple bronchoscopies with biopsy and are considered to be at an increased risk for bleeding from transbronchial biopsy, independent of traditional risk factors.We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endobronchial administration of prophylactic topical epinephrine in attenuating transbronchial biopsy-related hemorrhage in lung transplant recipients.Methods: the prophylactic epinephrine for the prevention of transbronchial lung biopsy-related bleeding in lung transplant recipients study was a 2-center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.Participants undergoing transbronchial lung biopsy were randomized to receive 1:10,000-diluted topical epinephrine vs saline placebo administered prophylactically into the target segmental airway.Bleeding was graded based on a clinical severity scale.The primary efficacy outcome was incidence of severe or very severe hemorrhage.The primary safety outcome was a composite of 3-hours all-cause mortality and an acute cardiovascular event.Results: a total of 66 lung transplantation recipients underwent 100 bronchoscopies during the study period.The primary outcome of severe or very severe hemorrhage occurred in 4 cases (8%) in the prophylactic epinephrine group and in 13 cases (24%) in the control group (p = 0.04).The composite primary safety outcome did not occur in any of the study groups.Conclusions: in lung transplantation recipients undergoing transbronchial lung biopsy, prophylactic administration of 1:10,000-diluted topical epinephrine into the target segmental airway before biopsy.Type of adverse events/number of patients: prophylactic epinephrine group: severe or very severed hemorrhage (4), moderate, sever, or very severe hemorrhage (11); saline control group: severe or very severed hemorrhage (13), moderate, sever, or very severe hemorrhage (24).Two patients in the epinephrine group were admitted for iatrogenic pneumothorax, requiring tube thoracostomy.Two patients in the placebo group were admitted post-bronchoscopy for hypoxemic respiratory failure.B two patients in the epinephrine group were admitted within 48 hours of the procedure; both for hypoxemic respiratory failure, one of which was diagnosed with pneumonia.Two patients in the placebo group were admitted within 48 hours of the procedure; one for a small late pneumothorax which did not require drainage and one for pneumonia and hypoxic respiratory failure, requiring mechanical ventilation.This literature requires three reports.The patient identifiers are as follows: (b)(6).This report is for (b)(6).There is no documented olympus device malfunction.Literature link : https://doi.Org/10.1016/j.Healun.2023.03.007 for additional information.
