Endobronchial Ultrasound and EBUS-Guided TBNA: Training Manual (The Bronchoscopy Education Project Book 2)

The Endobronchial Ultrasound and EBUS-Guided TBNA Training Manual. This competency program addresses course organization, ultrasound physics, EBUS equipment and instrumentation, mediastinal exploration and staging, radiography- bronchoscopy correlations, image analysis, tumor markers, specimen handling, team dynamics and communication, and EBUS-related techniques. We provide validated assessment tools, simulation exercises, examples of practical approach case studies, and checklists to help assure patient and equipment safety. As Part II of The Bronchoscopy Education Project, this training manual can be used with The Essential EBUS Bronchoscopist, a compilation of multiple-choice question/answer sets with detailed explanations and illustrations pertaining to convex probe endobronchial ultrasound and EBUS-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (TBNA) .
