Endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a reliable and well-established technique that enables the visualization and sampling of mediastinal, central and hilar lesions and lymph nodes within the tracheobronchial tree.
With the EBUS bronchoscope inserted into the trachea or the esophagus, the accessible lymph node stations can be explored and the lesions outlined while offering you the freedom to select from different EBUS needle lineups and sizes depending on your needs.
Daigonsis of treatment by EBUS
- Sarcodsis
- Staging of lung cancer
- Determine the lung infection
Types of EBUS
- Radial probe EBUS (RP-EBUS): Radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) helps in the evaluation and sampling of peripheral pulmonary lesions (nodules, masses, consolidation), and has been demonstrated a safer alternative to computed tomography guided procedure, especially in lesions that are away from the chest wall.
- convex and linear probe EBUS (CP-EBUS)
Benefits of EBUS:
- EBUS is performed under moderate sedation or general anesthesia
- Patients recover quickly and can usually go home the same day
- It provides real-time imaging of the surface of the airways, blood vessels, lungs, and lymph nodes.
