History of Changes
  Purpose

The purpose of the study is to determine if there are any differences in yield or safety of Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) (a type of bronchoscopy with biopsy) performed under general anesthesia versus moderate sedation.


Condition
Mediastinal Lymphadenopathies
Mediastinal Masses
Hilar Lymphadenopathies

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) Performed Under General Anesthesia Versus Conscious Sedation

Further study details as provided by Baylor College of Medicine:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Diagnostic Yield [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Complications rate [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Time to recovery from anesthesia [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Tolerance to procedure [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 200
Study Start Date: October 2011
Estimated Primary Completion Date: September 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts
General Anesthesia
Patients will receive Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) with a combination of Propofol, Ketamine and neuromuscular blockade by anesthesia. Either an LMA or an ETT will be used to secure airway.
Moderate Sedation
Patients will receive moderate sedation given by the physician performing EBUS with a combination of Versed and Fentanyl per hospital protocol.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population

Adult individuals with suspected mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathies or masses referred for endobronchial ultrasound-guided biopsy.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All patients over the age of 18, evaluated by pulmonary physician that require EBUS TBNA for sampling of hilar and/or mediastinal lymphadenopathies or masses
  • Patients should be considered eligible to undergo either CS or GA, without contraindications for either one of them, based on the assessment by the pulmonologist who will perform EBUS-TBNA

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding women
  • Patients deemed poor candidates for general anesthesia by the evaluating physician (e.g., severe coronary artery disease, COPD with FEV1 < 1 liter, uncontrolled hypertension, increased intracranial pressure, reaction to anesthetics)
  • Previous reaction to medications routinely used in conscious sedation
  • Patients with history of intolerance to either general anesthesia or conscious sedation
  • Dementia or other severe cognitive impairment causing inability to understand or consent to the procedure and study
