About this study

Official title: Impact of Sedation Technique on the Diagnostic Accuracy of Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)

There is a paucity of data concerning the impact of the sedation technique used for endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) on diagnostic accuracy. The aim of this retrospective study is to compare diagnostic accuracy of EBUS-TBNA in deep and moderate sedation, and to investigate other possible determinants of diagnostic accuracy in three lymph node locations (mediastinal, subcarinal, and hilar).

The first consecutive patients at the University Hospital Zurich undergoing EBUS-TBNA for selective sampling in deep sedation are compared with the first consecutive patients in moderate sedation between 2006 and 2014. Diagnoses based on EBUS-TBNA were compared with those on surgical or radiological follow-up.

Read the detailed description

Between September, 2007 and January 31, 2014, all consecutive patients who undergo EBUS-TBNA at the University Hospital Zurich for selective assessment of enlarged (≥ 1 cm by CT or ultrasound) or suspected (enhanced fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) activity in PET/CT) lymph nodes were enrolled. Demographic and clinical data, procedural reports and cytological findings were collected from medical records. Computed tomography (CT) or PET/CT scans were prospectively reviewed to gather the size and standardized uptake value (SUV) of FDG of each sampled lymph node. The cytological findings obtained with EBUS-TBNA were verified by histological examination, if a surgical biopsy (mediastinoscopy, thoracoscopy, or thoracotomy) was carried out following EBUS-TBNA, or alternatively by clinical and radiological follow-up data.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Moderate Sedation for EBUS/TBNAProcedure or surgery

    EBUS-TBNA was performed by one of the pulmonologists in moderate sedation (D.F., M.K.).

  • General anesthesia for EBUS/TBNAProcedure or surgery

    EBUS-TBNA was performedin general anaesthesia by one of the thoracic surgeons (D.S., P.K.)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic accuracy (time frame: 1-6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Nov 2016.
