Pulmonary Intervention
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the lungs and surrounding structures, including lymph nodes, to detect lung cancer, infections, and inflammatory conditions such as sarcoidosis and pulmonary lymphoma.
How EBUS Works?
During the procedure, a flexible bronchoscope, equipped with an ultrasound probe, is inserted through the mouth or nose into the lungs. High-frequency sound waves generate real-time images of the airways, lymph nodes, and nearby tissues, helping doctors assess abnormalities seen in X-rays or CT scans. EBUS allows for tissue biopsies through a technique called Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (TBNA), making it effective for both diagnosis and staging of lung cancer.
Clinical Advantages
- Minimally Invasive: No need for incisions or surgery, ensuring quicker recovery times.
- Accurate Diagnosis: Provides detailed images and biopsy samples for precise diagnosis and staging of lung cancer, as well as identifying infections or inflammatory conditions.
- Outpatient Procedure: Typically done under local anaesthesia with a short recovery period.
