Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. ≥18 years old
  2. Patients with at least one mediastinal and/or hilar lymphadenopathy (≥1cm in the short axis) without a known or suspected primary lung cancer, required diagnostic bronchoscopy
  3. The selected patients should complete the routine examination of EBUS-TBNA/EBUS-TBMC via a tunnel before operation, such as blood routine examination, coagulation function, electrocardiogram, chest CT, etc
  4. There was no contraindication of puncture and cryobiopsy
  5. Fully informed of the purpose and method of the study, agreed to participate in the study, and signed the informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. The lesion is a mediastinal cyst or abscess
  2. The patient is allergic to lidocaine and midazolam (3) The site to be biopsied has a high risk of bleeding detected by Doppler and/or contrast CT such as bronchial artery penetration or suspected lung metastasis of renal cancer (4) Unstable angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, severe bronchial asthma

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Quadruple

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: CLE-assisted EBUS-TBNA
Patients in this arm receive CLE-assisted EBUS-TBNA
First, use the EBUS needle to create a hole in the airway wall. Then, insert the CLE into the lymph node via this hole and detect the lymph node. When the specific pathological finding is detected by CLE, record the location. Finally, using the needle to perform EBUS-TBNA in the area under EBUS guidance.
Placebo Comparator: EBUS-TBMC
Patients in this arm receive EBUS-TBMC
Using the cryoprobe to perform EBUS-TBMC three times per person.

What is the study measuring?

Time Frame: On day 7 after procedure to obtain the pathological findings.
The proportion of all individuals undergoing the diagnostic procedure under evaluation in whom a specific diagnosis is established based on the consensus definition.
On day 7 after procedure to obtain the pathological findings.
