Treatment of Pulmonary Carcinoid Tumors With Bronchoscopic Cryotherapy: A 28-Year Single-center Experience
Background: Pulmonary carcinoids are rare tumors originating from neuroendocrine cells in the lungs. Because of their potentially infiltrative nature, surgical resection remains the treatment of choice. However, not all patients with technically resectable disease will be able to undergo surgery, primarily because of poor lung function or medical co-morbidities. Centrally located, intraluminal tumors have been reported to be amenable to bronchoscopic treatment. We specifically examined the role of cryotherapy in the treatment of bronchial carcinoid tumors. Methods: Sixty-three patients (52.38% female) who underw...

Interpretation and Application of the Likelihood Ratio to Clinical Practice in Thoracic Oncology
Likelihood ratios (LRs) are a method to evaluate diagnostic test performance and assist in clinical decision making. While sensitivity and specificity are useful for binary tests, they cannot be directly applied to tests with>2 possible test results. LRs can be used for diagnostic tests with 2 or more possible test results and are also suitable for tests with continuous results. In this paper we review the concepts of LRs and how they relate to sensitivity and specificity. Practical examples from the pulmonary literature of how LRs are used to calculate posttest disease probabilities using Bayes’ theorem are provided. Th...

Correlation of Vital Signs and Depth of Sedation by Modified Observer’s Assessment of Alertness and Sedation (MOAA/S) Scale in Bronchoscopy
This study was a post hoc analysis of a prospective, double-blind, randomized trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of remimazolam. MOAA/S and corresponding vital signs were used to assess the effect of the level of sedation on vital signs and adverse events. Results: A total of 23,341 MOAA/S scores from 431 patients were recorded. Older and higher ASA class patients spent more time in deeper sedation (MOAA/S 0 to 1) (6% vs. 2%, P=0.01). Oxygen saturation was equal in deep sedation (MOAA/S 0 to 1) (97±3%) compared with moderate sedation (96±3%) (P=0.11). Mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures were signific...

Rapid On-site Evaluation (ROSE) in Capillary Pull Versus Suction Biopsy Technique With Endobronchial Ultrasound-transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)
Conclusion: This study suggests no differences in ROSE outcomes between suction and capillary pull techniques in EBUS-TBNA. The technique used should therefore be left to the discretion of the operator. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Comparison of Sample Adequacy and Diagnostic Yield of the 21-G and 25-G EBUS TBNA Needles
Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that the there is no difference in terms of specimen adequacy and diagnostic yield when the 25-G needle is compared with the 21-G needle. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Utility of Elastography for Differentiating Malignant and Benign Lymph Nodes During EBUS-TBNA: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusions: Ultrasound elastography is useful in differentiating malignant and benign lymph nodes during endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration. However, elastography does not replace the requirement of lymph node aspiration. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Lung Navigation Ventilation Protocol to Optimize Biopsy of Peripheral Lung Lesions
We examined a conventional ventilation strategy versus a lung navigation ventilation protocol (LNVP) optimized for intraprocedural 3-dimensional image acquisition and bronchoscopic biopsy of peripheral lung nodules. Methods: A retrospective, single center study was conducted in consecutive subjects with peripheral lung lesions measuring (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)
