Endobronchial Ultrasound under Moderate Sedation versus General Anesthesia.

Background: Different anesthetic protocols may influence endobronchial ultrasound-guided needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) outcomes, patient comfort, and even safety. In this study, two anesthesia techniques were assessed and compared for EBUS-TBNA.

Methods: A prospective, multicenter study was carried out.
