Bronchostenosis Complete

Complete bronchostenosis, or BPS (from the English “bronchial stenosis complete”, also known as “absolute bronchostenosis pneumotrax”) is a serious disease of the respiratory tract, which is characterized by complete exclusion of the bronchi from breathing and a high risk of death. This condition is rare but life-threatening, and



Complete bronchostenosis (broncho-obstructive syndrome) is a condition of respiratory failure, the cause of which is an irreversible process in which the lumen of one or both main bronchi is completely blocked, which can occur at any stage of the disease.

Symptoms of obstructive syndrome are caused by both the presence of an obstacle to the normal passage of air through the bronchi and its entry into the alveoli, and the severity of hypoxemia. In the development of obstructive (terminal) syndrome, an important role is played not only by the direct mechanical obstacle, but also by disorders of external respiration, metabolism and hemodynamics. In the hypoxic form of obstructive disorders, even a slight decrease in airway patency leads to the rapid development of severe disorders. In this case, symptoms of acute clinical decompensation often indicate the death of the patient.



Bronchostenosis (from the Greek βρόγχος “respiratory passage in the lungs” + στένος “blocked”) is a persistent narrowing of the trachea and/or large bronchi, interfering with breathing. The trachea is part of the respiratory system in the lungs, but a narrowing of the trachea can also lead to breathing problems and cause serious health problems. In addition, frequent bronchitis in older age can also lead to this problem.
