Impact of Interventional Endoscopy on Quality of Life in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Due to Tumor Compression or Obstruction of the Lower Respiratory Tract

Bronchoscopic endoscopy has shown its effectiveness and reliability for the treatment (desobstruction or prothesis) of tumor-induced bronchial obstructions, particularly in the first few weeks. The presence of a lower airway prosthesis can lead to device obstruction requiring daily inhaled fluidification, bacterial colonization, migration of the prosthesis, or the appearance of obstructive or hemorrhagic granulomas. The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of life of patients after endobronchial treatment. It is a prospective, descriptive, and multicentric (national) study. The main objective is to compare the total score on the Saint-George questionnaire at J7 of the interventional endoscopy compared to before the procedure.
