First, use the EBUS needle to create a hole in the airway wall. Then, insert the CLE into the lymph node via this hole and detect the lymph node. When the specific pathological finding is detected by CLE, record the location. Finally, using the needle to perform EBUS-TBNA in the area under EBUS guidance.
Using the cryoprobe to perform EBUS-TBMC three times per person.
Diagnostic yield
The proportion of all individuals undergoing the diagnostic procedure under evaluation in whom a specific diagnosis is established based on the consensus definition.
Time frame: On day 7 after procedure to obtain the pathological findings.
