Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) Turkey
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and stage lung cancer, infections, and other diseases such as sarcoidosis, tuberculosis and other infections affecting the lungs and nearby lymph nodes.
How is Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) Performed?
It combines bronchoscopy (a procedure where a thin tube with a camera, called a bronchoscope, is passed into the lungs through the mouth or nose) with ultrasound imaging to visualize structures inside the chest, including the airways, lungs, and lymph nodes. It is performed under general anesthesia and the procedure takes approximately 15-20 minutes longer than a standard bronchoscopy procedure (about 30-40 minutes in total).
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) Risks
The EBUS procedure is a very safe procedure with a low risk of life-threatening complications. The most common issue during the procedure is bleeding in the nose or airways.
