Brief Title: Radial-Probe Endobronchial Ultrasound in Detecting Atelectasis in Patients Undergoing Peripheral Bronchoscopy
Official Title: Prevalence and Location of Intra-Procedural Atelectasis Detected by Radial-Probe Endobronchial Ultrasound During Peripheral Bronchoscopy Under General Anesthesia
Study ID: NCT03523689
Brief Summary: This trial studies how well radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound works in detecting the complete or partial collapse of the lung in patients undergoing peripheral bronchoscopy. Diagnostic procedures, such as radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound and bronchoscopy, use a thin, tube-like instrument inserted through the nose or mouth to view and take pictures of the inside of the trachea, air passages, and lungs.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the proportion of patients identified as developing intraprocedural atelectasis detected by radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS) during peripheral bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To describe the most common locations for developing intraprocedural atelectasis detected by RP-EBUS. II. To describe the proportion of evaluated bronchial segments per patient that are identified as developing intraprocedural atelectasis by RP-EBUS. III. To identify patient and procedural characteristics that may predispose to the development of atelectasis. OUTLINE: Patients undergo bronchoscopy per standard of care, RP-EBUS of the left and right lungs during bronchoscopy procedure, and RP-imaging over 3-5 minutes at the end of the bronchoscopy procedure.
