  We define here a pseudo B-Fredholm operator as an operator such that 0 is
isolated in its essential spectrum, then we prove that an operator $T$ is
pseudo- B-Fredholm if and only if $T = R + F$ where $R$ is a Riesz operator and
$F$ is a B-Fredholm operator such that the commutator $[R,\, F]$ is compact.
Moreover, we prove that 0 is a pole of the resolvent of an operator $T$ in the
Calkin algebra if and only if $T= K+F$, where $K$ is a power compact operator
and $F$ is a B-Fredholm operator, such that the commutator $[K,\, F]$ is
compact. As an application, we characterize the mean convergence in the Calkin
algebra.
