EBUS-TBNA
EBUS-TBNA stands for Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration. It is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that combines bronchoscopy with ultrasound imaging to obtain tissue samples from structures near the airways, particularly the lungs and mediastinum. EBUS-TBNA is commonly used for the evaluation of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes, as well as lung masses or lesions. EBUS-TBNA is commonly used for the evaluation of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes, as well as lung masses or lesions.
EBUS-TBNA PROCEDURE
Patient
Preparation:
- The patient may receive local anesthesia to numb the throat.
- Sedation may be administered for comfort.
Bronchoscopy:
A bronchoscope, a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera, is inserted through the nose or mouth and into the airways.
Ultrasound
Imaging:
- EBUS allows real-time ultrasound imaging of the bronchial and surrounding structures.
- The bronchoscopist navigates to the target area using the ultrasound images.
Needle
Aspiration:
- A thin needle is advanced through the bronchoscope and guided by ultrasound to the target tissue.
- The needle is used to aspirate (withdraw) small tissue samples from lymph nodes or lesions.
Diagnosis
Results:
- Pathologists examine the tissue samples to determine the presence of abnormalities, such as cancer cells, infections, or inflammatory conditions.
