Study of Procedural Efficiency in EBUS With Dual Versus Single NEEDLEs: Evaluating the Value of a Second Needle in EBUS as it Pertains to Economic and Environmental Impact

Currently, the EBUS bronchoscopy procedure uses either one or two needles to perform the biopsy of the lymph node based on physician preference. We want to determine the optimal number of needles to use for future EBUS bronchoscopy procedures like the one you are scheduled to have for your care and investigate the economic and environmental impact and time involved in using one versus two needles.
