Bronchoscopy & Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)
Endoscopic evaluation of airway tracheobronchial tree paired with ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) for mediastinal nodes.
Clinical Overview & Diagnostic Rationale
Flexible bronchoscopy examines bronchial airways directly. EBUS combines bronchoscopy with a high-frequency ultrasound probe, enabling real-time needle aspiration of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes without open thoracic surgery.
Primary Indications & Clinical Scenarios
Strict overnight fasting (6-8 hours). Discontinue blood thinners as advised by physician prior to procedure.
