EBUS

Evaluation of Mediastinal Lymph Nodes: EBUS can assess the status of lymph nodes in the mediastinum (the area between the lungs), aiding in the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer, as well as other conditions such as sarcoidosis or lymphoma.

Guidance for Interventional Procedures: EBUS guidance can be utilized for various interventional procedures, such as transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) for lymph node biopsy, transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) for lung tissue sampling, or fiducial marker placement for radiation therapy planning.

Assessment of Treatment Response: EBUS may be used to monitor treatment response in patients undergoing therapy for lung cancer or other thoracic conditions. Serial EBUS examinations can assess changes in lesion size or lymph node involvement over time, guiding ongoing management decisions.

Management of Airway Disorders: EBUS can aid in the evaluation and management of airway disorders, such as obstructive lesions or stenosis, by providing detailed imaging of the airway anatomy and facilitating targeted interventions.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support: Dr. Mehra provides comprehensive follow-up care following EBUS procedures, including monitoring for complications, interpreting biopsy results, and coordinating further treatment as necessary.

Patient Education and Support: Offering clear communication and support to patients throughout the EBUS process, including pre-procedure instructions, explanation of findings, and guidance on post-procedure care and follow-up appointments.

Dr. Mehra’s expertise in EBUS ensures that patients receive accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans, leading to improved outcomes and quality of life for individuals with pulmonary and mediastinal conditions.
