First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial compares conscious sedation versus general anesthesia for a lung biopsy procedure called pEBUS, used to diagnose lung nodules. About 306 adults with peripheral lung lesions will be randomly assigned to one of the two sedation methods. The goal is to see which approach yields a more accurate diagnosis, helping doctors choose the best option for patients.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could help doctors choose the best sedation method for lung biopsies, improving diagnosis and patient comfort.
