Practical application of the Russian-made Endomed videobronchoscope in the conditions of neurointensive care at the Federal State Budgetary Institution Federal Center for Brain and Neurotechnology of the FMBA of Russia

Among the critical conditions, the most threatening is an acute violation of cerebral circulation (ONMC, stroke). When conducting endoscopic examinations for such patients, the principle of observing the “golden hour” is extremely important, when the reverse development of the pathological process is possible. Practical application of the Endomed videobronchoscope according to the 26.60.12-005-44302848-2022, model VB52 (ENDOMED, Russia) was held as part of the testing of equipment of domestic production in the period from 09/22/2024 to 09/10/24. Both endoscopists and anesthesiologists-intensive care specialists took part in the testing of the equipment, During the testing, the endoscope was used: in conditions of difficult intubation in 4 patients; during 20 planned rehabilitation tracheobronchoscopies and in 2 emergency situations. As a result of the testing, it was noted: the high mobility of the presented equipment, simplicity and ease of operation, a high level of image on a 3.5-inch screen with an endoscope mount on the handle, a small diameter of the distal end and a sufficient level of bending.
