Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to determine if the insertion of the linear endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscope is more comfortable for patients when done through the nose compared to its insertion through the mouth. Our hypothesis is that nasal insertion is more comfortable.


Clinical Trial Description

Linear endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) now plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning of lung cancer. Most centers perform linear EBUS via the oral route given the larger diameter of the bronchoscope used. However, the feasibility and the diagnostic accuracy of linear EBUS performed through the nose have not been reported. Furthermore, the two routes of insertion have never been compared in terms of patient satisfaction and comfort.

In order to compare the two routes of insertion, consecutive patients referred for a linear endobronchial ultrasound will be recruited. Participants will be randomized to either oral or nasal insertion. All participants will be sedated and will receive local anesthetics in a similar manner. After the procedure, patients will fill a questionnaire regarding their comfort and satisfaction with the procedure. ;
