The increasing popularity of sputum induction as a non-invasive and cost-effective method for obtaining lower airway secretions from patients who cannot produce sputum naturally has led to extensive research and applications in respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD. This technique allows for analysis of the cellular and biochemical components of the sputum to take place, providing insights into airway inflammation, immune cells, and help in predicting treatment response. Furthermore, induced sputum enables various analyses, including microRNA and gene expression studies and immunophenotyping. The procedure is generally safe and well tolerated, even in patients with airflow limitations; however, monitoring lung function is essential, especially in those with airway hyperresponsiveness. Optimal saline solution concentration and inhalation duration have been investigated, recommending a 15-20 min induction with hypertonic saline. Expectoration involves coughing at the end of each inhalation time. Careful handling during sputum processing is necessary for obtaining accurate results in cell cytology, immunocytochemistry, and in situ hybridization. Overall, induced sputum offers significant advantages as a preferred alternative for large-scale and repeated airway sampling, despite some technical demands and limitations.</p>","PeriodicalId":7391,"journal":{"name":"Advances in respiratory medicine","volume":"91 5","pages":"397-406"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10603896/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54227374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are known issues with applying anesthesia and artificial lung ventilation (ALV) during surgical procedures in the upper airways, e.g., during bronchoscopy or tracheostomy. The principles, advantages, and disadvantages of HFJV are discussed in context with basic physical principles to clarify the proper use of this method. The basic technical principles of catheter construction, as well as its functional properties from a biophysical point of view, are introduced. Also, the placement of the catheter in the airways, the set-up of the HFJV ventilator, and the indications as well as the risks and contraindications of the use of C-HFJV are analyzed. This leads to the explanation of potentially optimal techniques for C-HFJV applications. In this article, we present the positive effects of C-HFJV even with complications such as bacterial or viral pneumonia, including COVID-19.
