On April 4, during the Qingming holiday, a patient from Dazhou, Sichuan Province was transferred to the Intensive Care Unit of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Heavy Medicine in a hurry after suffering from respiratory distress due to cervical vertebrae fracture and tracheal rupture caused by a serious car accident. Prof. Guo Shuliang, Director of the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, led the team of respiratory critical care, respiratory intervention and respiratory support, and urgently performed an airway intervention surgery to reconstruct the airway for the patient. After the surgery, the patient's dyspnea symptoms were significantly relieved, and he turned to safety.

Not only that, they also carried out a number of international and domestic first new technologies, including the world's first difficult combined endosurgical main bronchial atresia recanalization surgery, the world's first Haber knife airway tumor resection, the first transbronchial frozen lung biopsy (TBCB) in China, the first spring coil seal bronchopleural fistula surgery, the first Onyx gel embolization of bronchial arteries to treat intractable hemoptysis, the first Silicone stent placement in the West The first silicone stent placement, the first rapid on-site cell evaluation (ROSE) technology platform in western China, the first airway tumor laser resection in southwest China, the invention of improved and simplified EBUS-TENA biopsy and the simplest airway Y-shaped stent placement technology, etc., which have greatly improved the diagnostic level of difficult illnesses, and benefited domestic and foreign patients.

With the support of "4D Respiratory Intervention", the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine officially set up the "Stenotic Airway Center" in February 2024 to establish a green channel and standardize the diagnosis and treatment process for patients with stenotic airways.

According to statistics, up to now, the annual diagnosis and treatment volume of respiratory endoscopy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has exceeded 6000 cases, and patients from more than 20 provinces and cities across the country have come to visit the Center, which has successfully rescued patients with airway stenosis for more than 4,000 times, and created the miracle of "zero death" of respiratory endoscopic intervention, which is rare in the field of domestic and international respiratory intervention.

The Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has upgraded Chongqing's respiratory precision interventional diagnostic and treatment technology to the domestic first-class level, and part of the technology has reached the international leading level, which has effectively relieved the patients from pain and pain and guaranteed the safety of their lives to the greatest extent.
