Current recommendations for mediastinal staging for peripheral lung nodules #CHEST2020 #CHESTSoMe

Dr. Kopman’s summarizing when to consider EBUS....#CHEST2020

@OtisBRickman #CHEST2020

Utility of EBUS depends on prevalence of N2 disease- Dr. Rickman #CHEST2020 #CHESTSoMe

Node first or nodule? #CHEST2020

Goal of nodule first—> minimize CT to body divurgence. Atelectasis another issue. #CHEST2020

iLocate trial —> atelectasis survey post anesthesia induction. 89% pts had at least atelectasis of one segment, 79% had three atelectatic segments #CHEST2020 #CHESTSoMe #chestIP

@OtisBRickman conclusions: EBUS for stage > 1a, for non surgical 1a. Do EBUS first if central disease. Nodule first if RFs for atelectasis. #CHEST2020 #CHESTSoMe
