Abstract

Real-time, convex probe endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is used to reveal etiologies of enlarged mediastinal/hilar lymphadenopathy, lesions. The study evaluated the diagnostic efficacy and safety of EBUS-TBNA when used as an initial diagnostic tool. We restrospective 75 patients between September 2017 and July 2021. Results: In the 72 cases with adequate results, the diagnostic accuracy of EBUS-BNA was calculated 69%; the diagnostics specific, the sensitive,  the positive predictive value, the negative predictive value was 62%, 100%, 38.9%, and 100%. There was no  reported complication. Conclusions: EBUS-TBNA is safe and efficacy procedure, so EBUS – TBNA should be used as an initial diagnostic tool for the assessment of  mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes, lesions.
