Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
the diagnostic efficiency of flexible bronchoscopy(FB) in peripheral lung lesions(PPLs)
1 year
Secondary Outcomes (1)
complications, including bleeding, pneumothorax, respiratory failure,
1 year
Study Arms (2)
EBUS
NO INTERVENTIONAfter the PPLs been localized by endobronchial ultrasound(EBUS), patients in the EBUS group received transbronchial biopsy and bronchial washing at the bronchus located by EBUS.
EBUS-GS
ACTIVE COMPARATORAfter PPLs been localized by EBUS, the EBUS and guide sheath were then inserted to localize the lesion again. Transbronchial biopsy and brushing were done through the guide sheath after the probe been removed.
Interventions
The guide sheath (GS) was originally the balloon covered sheath (MAJ-643R, external diameter 2.6mm) of the EBUS probe. The two ends of the balloon covered sheath were cut and trimmed. The EBUS probe was covered with guide sheath and then inserted through the working channel to the targeted bronchus.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions who are going to receive bronchoscopy
You may not qualify if:
- endobronchial abnormalities
- associated lung parenchyma changes, ex. lung collapse or atelectasis
