EBUS Treatment Details - Dr. Nishtha Singh
E N D
Endo-bronchial ultrasound (EBUS) Bronchoscopy- from basics and beyond Dr Nishtha Singh Executive Director & Pulmonary Consultant Asthma Bhawan, Jaipur Dr Nishtha Singh
Over 30 years proven performance The EBUS Timeline 1992 Radial EBUS was introduced Convex probe EBUS introduced 2003 First publication with description Of EBUS-TBNA principle 2008 EBUS First came in India 2013 International guidelines recommend EBUS-TBNA as first testing method for lung cancer Rajasthan gets its First EBUS at Asthma Bhawan 2016
Point Should Endobronchial Ultrasound Guide Every Transbronchial Needle Aspiration of Lymph Nodes? Dr Nishtha Singh
Can we drive our cars on the road with headlights off at night? Dr Nishtha Singh
“NO, We would not drive our cars at night without using the headlights, even on a familiar road or even after having studied images of that road carefully.” Dr Nishtha Singh
Sample by conventional TBNA Sample by EBUS Dr Nishtha Singh
“It is time to turn on the lights and be confident that our chances of safe arrival at the next destination is 90%” Dr Nishtha Singh
Point Should Endobronchial Ultrasound Guide Every Transbronchial Needle Aspiration of Lymph Nodes? Yes Dr Nishtha Singh
Moving away from the era of Imagining Dr Nishtha Singh
Who are the right candidates for EBUS? Dr Nishtha Singh
Case 1 • 50-year-old female presented with headache and chronic non-productive cough • Transbronchial lung biopsy = adenocarcinoma Dr Nishtha Singh
Case 2 • 68-year-old man presented with chronic cough LUL mass 3.5 cm Subcentimeter 4R node • Transbronchial lung biopsy = adenocarcinoma Dr Nishtha Singh
Case 3 • 45-year-old female with abnormal chest X-ray • Transbronchial lung biopsy = adenocarcinoma • Negative MLN on PET-CT Dr Nishtha Singh
MLN staging? Not required Case 1 EBUS-TBNA Case 2 Case 3 Not required Dr Nishtha Singh
Mediastinal staging N1 N2 N3 T Dr Nishtha Singh

Staging and treatment Dr Nishtha Singh
EBUS Procedure Dr Nishtha Singh
Balloon ApplicationAir is enemy Water is Friend Dr Nishtha Singh
Ultrasound processor • Adjustable Gain and Depth • Gain is the degree of brightness with which given signal intensity is displayed. Analogous to a volume control knob on a stereo. • Depth- allows optimal display of an area of interest on the screen. • B mode and Doppler capabilities • B-mode (brightness mode) uses an array of transducers to scan a place through the tissue to produce a two-dimensional image on the screen. • Doppler mode measures the velocity of moving tissue. It detects blood flow in vessels and subsequently superimposes the display over the 2-D image. Dr Nishtha Singh
Needle Gauge 19G/21G/22G Compatible Channel 2mm Aspiration port Scale Handle section Insertion portion Dr Nishtha Singh Dimple shape for high echogenic reflection
Preparation of EBUS- Patients Dr Nishtha Singh
Anaesthesia • EBUS-TBNA is performed on an OPD basis under LA only or midazolam-induced conscious sedation. • LA is achieved with 5ml nebulized 2% lidocaine solution in the pharynx. • Oral route preferred. • ECG, Pulse oximetry, and BP monitoring is required with/without the presence of an anesthesiologist. Dr Nishtha Singh
Anaesthesia and peri-operative care • General Anaesthesia with LMA • LMA mask size 4 or 5 required • Total IV anesthesia with propofol is commonly used. • General Anaethesia with ET tube • Size 8.5 in women and 9.0 in men • More difficult to visualize higher nodes • Indications may include difficult LMA placement, obesity Dr Nishtha Singh
Subcarina (Station7): Definition based on IASLC map Upper border: • the carina of the trachea Lower border: • The upper border of the lower lobe bronchus on the left • The lower border of the bronchus intermedius on the right Dr Nishtha Singh
LN Characteristics- Dr Nishtha Singh
Anatomical landmarks during EBUS Dr Nishtha Singh
Insertion of EBUS • Insertion • Ballooning • Searching Target • Applying needle set • Needle insertion • Negative pressure Dr Nishtha Singh
How to take biopsies • When the target structure is identified, a biopsy can be taken. • Insert the sheet in the operative channel of the endoscope and lock it • Adjust the sheet with the tip a few millimeters outside the endoscope • Move the needle with the stylet a few millimeters forward • Retract the stylet 1 cm to make the needle sharp • Hit the target • Reinsert the stylet and then remove it • Connect the suction to the needle and move it back and forth • Stop moving needle and cease suction • Retract the needle and make sure the needle is in the upper position • Lock the needle and remove the equipment from the endoscope. Dr Nishtha Singh
EBUS-TBNA is a boon for mediastinal diagnosis • Access lymph node stations 1,2,4,7,10,11,12 • Minimal invasive SAFE technique • Real time procedure • Doppler mode helps differentiate LN from vessel • Used for diagnosis and staging Dr Nishtha Singh
Experience in our Institute Asthma Bhawan Dr Nishtha Singh
Diagnosis of the 82 patients Dr Nishtha Singh
Our experience so far! Learning Curve We took consecutive patients of MediastinalAdenopathy Dr Nishtha Singh
Diagnosis changed Dr Nishtha Singh
Case 1- 27 yr female with fever intermittent since 1 yr PUO? Dr Nishtha Singh
CT was suggestive of mediastinallymphadenopathy Dr Nishtha Singh
Bronchoscopy done before was normal. • The diagnosis of treating physician was of Tuberculosis or Sarcoidosis. And he started patient on ATT. • After 1 month, patient came to us. Dr Nishtha Singh
EBUS was done. Results???? Dr Nishtha Singh
EBUS-TBNA s/o Reed sternberg like cells Cytology showed Hodgkins lymphoma. Dr Nishtha Singh
Is there a role of EBUS-TBNA in Lymphoma? Dr Nishtha Singh
