Lung biopsy study: does a breathing tube help or hurt?
NCT ID NCT06799455
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two ways to manage breathing during a lung biopsy (EBUS-TBNA) under sedation: using a small uncuffed breathing tube or no tube at all. Researchers measured oxygen dips, procedure length, and sedation needs. Only 4 people took part before the study was stopped early, so results are limited.
