Ultrasound measurements to predict breathing problems during a lung biopsy
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the windpipe before a procedure that takes tissue samples from the lungs. The goal is to see if these measurements can help predict which patients might have low oxygen levels during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for an elective procedure called EBUS-TBNA (a lung tissue biopsy using a special scope).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have an ASA physical status of I, II, or III (meaning you are generally healthy or have mild to moderate medical conditions).
- You do not have significant airway narrowing, a history of tracheostomy, or prior chest surgery.
- You do not use home oxygen therapy and your oxygen level is at least 90% on room air.
- You do not have certain severe lung or heart conditions, such as severe COPD, heart failure, or pulmonary hypertension, and you are not pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether giving warm, moist oxygen through small tubes in your nose during a sedated breathing-tube procedure (EBUS-TBNA) helps keep your oxygen levels steady and reduces complications. It may make the procedure safer and more comfortable for you.
This study looks at how well patients understand the consent process and how much sedative medication they need during an endobronchial ultrasound (a scope test to look at the lungs and lymph nodes). It aims to improve care for people undergoing this procedure.
This study tests whether ultrasound scans and simple body measurements can help doctors predict when placing a breathing tube during surgery might be difficult. If successful, it could help doctors plan safer anesthesia care.
This study uses ultrasound to check if patients are ready to have their breathing tube removed. It aims to help doctors decide the best time for removal, which could reduce complications.
This study tests whether using an ultrasound measurement of the neck, along with a standard mouth exam, can better predict when placing a breathing tube will be difficult. It may help doctors prepare better for surgery.
This study looks at patients in the ICU who have been on a breathing machine. It tests whether a simple ultrasound along with a standard test can help predict if the patient will breathe well after the tube is removed, potentially preventing complications.
