We sought to evaluate the preclinical feasibility of bronchoscopic fluorescence-guided sentinel lymph node mapping. Healthy Yorkshire pigs were used; sentinel lymph node mapping was performed with indocyanine green. The primary fluorescence imaging method was an ultrathin composite fiberscope placed in the bronchoscope working channel. Secondary methods used a fluorescence thoracoscope placed in the trachea (rigid bronchoscopy) and pretracheal fascial plane (mediastinoscopy) to validate ultrathin composite fiberscope settings for sentinel lymph node detection. A tracheostomy was created, and the pig was placed in a lateral decubitus position. Transbronchial intraparenchymal indocyanine green injection was performed primarily in the right lower lobe. Ultrathin composite fiberscope and rigid bronchoscopy were performed with (n=6) or without (n providing real-time feedback on sentinel lymph node biopsy success. If translated to clinical practice, attention must be paid to minimizing indocyanine green leakage. Bronchoscopic fluorescence-guided sentinel lymph node mapping was feasible, with specimen fluorescence providing real-time feedback on sentinel lymph node biopsy success. If translated to clinical practice, attention must be paid to minimizing indocyanine green leakage. Tracheostomy usually is performed to aid weaning from mechanical ventilation and facilitate rehabilitation and secretion clearance. Little is known about the safety of percutaneous tracheostomy in patients with severe COVID-19 supported on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). This study aimed to investigate the bleeding risk of bedside percutaneous tracheostomy in patients with COVID-19 infection supported with VV-ECMO. A Retrospective review of ele
