Neck Ultrasound for the Detection of Cervical Lymphadenopathy in Sarcoidosis: An Alternative to Endobronchial Ultrasound
Conclusion: NUS and needle sampling of cervical lymph nodes is a potential modality that can be used for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis in a selected group of patients. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Comparison of Endobronchial Ultrasound–guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration With Stylet Retracted Partially Versus Completely for Molecular Testing
Conclusion: EBUS-TBNA using either capillary sampling or complete stylet removal are effective and has a high proportion of satisfactory results for ancillary testing. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Prospective Study of the Utility of Computed Tomography Triage of Pleural Biopsy Strategies in Patients With Pleural Diseases
Conclusion: Use of CT scans to triage an appropriate pleural biopsy method is associated with high diagnostic success. We recommend that the proposed diagnostic workup in this study may be used as a diagnostic algorithm for pleural diseases that require a histopathologic analysis. Determination of risk factors predicting malignant disease in patients where fibrinous pleuritis is reported after MT would be useful for clinical practice.

A Multicenter Study on the Utility of EBUS-TBNA and EUS-B-FNA in the Diagnosis of Mediastinal Lymphoma
Conclusion: EBUS-TBNA is a useful investigation in the diagnostic algorithm of suspected lymphoma as it helps avoid other invasive diagnostic procedures. The sensitivity of EBUS-TBNA in subtyping new-onset mediastinal lymphoma depends on the adequacy of cell aspirate and the judicious utilization of pathologic techniques.

Performance of Endobronchial Ultrasound Elastography in the Differentiation of Malignant and Benign Mediastinal Lymph Nodes: Results in Real-life Practice
Conclusion: Elastography does not preclude performing TBNA of the lymph nodes. It does not preclude EBUS-TBNA when a type 1 elastogram pattern is found. All lymph nodes visualized should be sampled by EBUS-TBNA, regardless of elastography pattern. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Diagnostic Value of Elastography and Endobronchial Ultrasound in the Study of Hilar and Mediastinal Lymph Nodes
Conclusion: EBUS-elastography is feasible during EBUS and may be helpful in predicting malignant lymph node infiltration. It could improve anatomopathologic sample collection and increase diagnostic efficiency. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Using a Laryngeal Mask Airway During Percutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy is Safe and Obviates the Need for Paralytics
Background: Bedside percutaneous tracheostomy (PT) placement in critically ill patients is performed in a variety of ways, largely driven by institutional preference. We have recently transitioned to primarily extubating the patient and placing a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) before tracheostomy insertion in lieu of retracting the endotracheal tube (ETT) in place. This allows for lower sedative use and provides a superior view of the operative field. Here, we seek to describe the safety and efficiency of that approach. Methods: This is a single-center cross-sectional study from 2014 to 2016 comparing patients who underw...

Protocolized Thoracic Ultrasonography in Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsies: A Potential Role as an Exclusion Study for Pneumothorax
Conclusion: Our study demonstrates a 100% negative predictive value for the exclusion of PTX via TUS’ verification of SL. The practical value of TUS post-TBLCB may lie in its application as a rule-out study, thereby avoiding CXR. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Safety and Tolerability of Vacuum Versus Manual Drainage During Thoracentesis: A Randomized Trial
This study compares the safety, pain level, and time involved in these techniques. Methods: We randomized 100 patients receiving ultrasound-guided unilateral thoracentesis in an academic medical center from December 2015 through September 2017 to either vacuum or manual drainage. Without using pleural manometry, the effusion was drained completely or until the development of refractory symptoms. Measurements included self-reported pain before and during the procedure (from 0 to 10), time for completion of drainage, and volume removed. Primary outcomes were rates of all-cause complications and of early termination of the...

Preoperative Staging by EBUS in cN0/N1 Lung Cancer: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: Preoperative systematic staging by EBUS-TBNA of early lung cancer can reduce postoperative upstaging. Sensitivity for detection of radiologically occult mediastinal metastases seems lower than selective sampling of pathologic lymph nodes. Verification of negative results by mediastinoscopy in selected cases remains of value. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)
