DESCRIPTION:
This easy-to-use pocket book covers all aspects of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), a preferred diagnostic procedure for many pulmonary and mediastinal conditions. Chapters include topics ranging from anatomy and lymph node stations to detailed insights on endobronchial ultrasound instrumentation. The book discusses the indications and contraindications of EBUS, patient preparation, the technical aspect of scope insertion into airways, manipulation and sampling, and complications. Additionally, it provides the latest EBUS-related guidelines and serves as a handy clinical reference for practitioners.
The book is relevant for postgraduate students of general and pulmonary medicine, thoracic surgeons, radiologists, nurses, EBUS technicians, and practitioners alike performing EBUS-TBNA.
