Filter by:Background: endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive procedure for diagnosing and staging mediastinal lymph node lesions in lung cancer. Adequate sedation is crucial for patient comfort and diagnostic accuracy. Different sedation modalities, including moderate sedation/conscious sedation, deep sedation, and general anesthesia, are utilized. This study aims to evaluate patient comfort and satisfaction levels of healthcare providers (bronchoscopists and anesthesiologists) when administering remifentanil through Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) for conscious sedation during EBUS-TBNA. A prospective randomized study design compares this approach to the standard sedation protocol involving midazolam, fentanyl, and/or propofol. Methods: this study will enroll 30 eligible patients randomly divided into two groups. Group 1, "REMIFENTANIL TCI", underwent EBUS-TBNA under conscious sedation with remifentanil TCI infusion targeting a concentration of 3-6 ng/ml. Group 2, "STANDARD", received conscious sedation with a combination of midazolam, fentanyl, and/or propofol administered in boluses based on clinical requirements. Complications, safety, and satisfaction levels of the operator, anesthesiologist, and patients will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided navigation bronchoscopy is better in diagnosing lung nodules compared to navigation bronchoscopy alone.
Investigators aim to compare the diagnostic accuracy and radiation exposure between low-dose and standard-dose computed tomography-guided core needle biopsy for lung nodules.
In this study, the feasibility of performing robotic navigation of peripheral airways in human subjects for the purpose of biopsying peripheral lung lesions will be evaluated.
