PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the proportion of patients identified as developing intraprocedural atelectasis detected by radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS) during peripheral bronchoscopy under general anesthesia.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe the most common locations for developing intraprocedural atelectasis detected by RP-EBUS.
II. To describe the proportion of evaluated bronchial segments per patient that are identified as developing intraprocedural atelectasis by RP-EBUS.
III. To identify patient and procedural characteristics that may predispose to the development of atelectasis.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo bronchoscopy per standard of care, RP-EBUS of the left and right lungs during bronchoscopy procedure, and RP-imaging over 3-5 minutes at the end of the bronchoscopy procedure.
