Complications associated with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration: a nationwide survey by the Japan Society for Respiratory Endoscopy

Conclusions: Although the complication rate associated with EBUS-TBNA was found to be low, severe complications, including infectious complications, were observed, and the incidence of device breakage was high. Since the use of EBUS-TBNA is rapidly expanding in Japan, an educational program for its safe performance should be immediately established. (Source: Respiratory Research)

Current status and clinical applicability of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA, punção aspirativa por agulha guiada por ultrassom endobrônquico) tem desempenhado um papel fundamental no diagnóstico de lesões mediastinais, paratraqueais e peribrônquicas, assim como no estadiamento linfonodal da neoplasia pulmonar. Por se tratar de exame endoscópico minimamente invasivo cujo rendimento diagnóstico tem se mostrado comparável aos métodos cirúrgicos estabelecidos, o procedimento de EBUS-TBNA ganhou espaço rapidamente e já se encontra integrado à rotina de investigação em serviços de referência. Para a realização de EBUSTBNA, é importante o planejamento prévio ao procedimento, que deve incluir uma análise minuciosa dos exames radiológicos e cuidado especial com a coleta e pr...
