Summary

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is widely used in the diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar adenopathy as well as in staging in lung cancer patients. Many studies have confirmed the utility of EBUS-TBNA with high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for the diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar adenopathy. 1-3 Less well reported has been the use of the EBUS bronchoscope to perform other procedures such as transbronchial biopsy (TBBx), endobronchial biopsy (EBBx), bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and airway brushings. While not well reported in the medical literature, anecdotal evidence supports these practices. The investigators propose a methodological evaluation of the full spectrum of procedures that have been performed and that are possible using an EBUS bronchoscope.
