The Analysis of the EBUS Scope as a Hybrid Bronchoscope
Lymphadenopathy
About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Lymphadenopathy
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- All patients undergoing bronchoscopy involving the use of an EBUS bronchoscope in the Johns Hopkins endoscopy suite over the course of the study period
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients not able to safely undergo bronchoscopy as judged by the Interventional Pulmonary service and Anesthesia. This follows standard clinical practice
Sites / Locations
- Johns Hopkins Hospital
Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Active Comparator
Experimental
Conventional EBUS
Hybrid EBUS
Subjects in this arm will have endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy done by the conventional EBUS scope rather than the hybrid EBUS scope. Subjects in this arm, like in the Hybrid EBUS arm, may or may not receive transbronchial forcep biopsies, airway brusings, and/or radial EBUS, depending on clinical need.
