The diagnostic efficacy and safety of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration as an initial diagnostic tool
BACKGROUND/AIMS Real-time, convex probe endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is used for the staging of malignant mediastinal lymph nodes. We evaluated the diagnostic efficacy and safety of EBUS-TBNA when used as an initial diagnostic tool. METHODS We retrospectively studied 56 patients who underwent EBUS-TBNA as an initial diagnostic tool between Augus...

متن کامل[Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration].
In the last years, several techniques have been developed to obtain a prompt diagnosis or rule out lung cancer. Endobronchial ultrasound- guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive procedure with a high diagnostic yield for mediastinal and central pulmonary lesions. This procedure is especially useful for lung cancer diagnosis and mediastinal staging. Two differ...
متن کاملEndobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration
In a recent issue of CHEST (January 2011), Gounant et al 1 showed that dedicated linear echoendoscope endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) needles are able to release metal particles, probably by friction between the stylet and the needle, with a potential risk of injecting particles into nodes. After reading this article, we are a bit confused for severa...
متن کاملImpact of sedation technique on the diagnostic accuracy of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES There is a paucity of data concerning the impact of the sedation technique used for endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) on diagnostic accuracy. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of EBUS-TBNA in deep and moderate sedations, and to investigate other possible determinants of diagnostic accur...
