First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This completed study looked at 102 adults undergoing a lung biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) under general anesthesia. Researchers compared two drugs—propofol (given through a vein) and sevoflurane (inhaled as a gas)—to see which one keeps the heart and blood pressure more stable and makes the doctor's job easier. The goal is to find the best anesthesia for this procedure to improve safety and comfort.
