The Essential cTBNA Bronchoscopist
The Essential Conventional TBNA Bronchoscopist© is the third of six volumes in The Essential Bronchoscopist™ Series. In addition to module-specific competency-oriented learning objectives and post-tests, it contains 30 multiple-choice question/answer sets pertaining to conventional transbronchial needle aspiration (cTBNA). Topics include mediastinal anatomy, proper equipment handling, patient preparation, procedural indications contraindications and complications, bronchoscopic techniques, nodal sampling strategies, lung cancer staging and classification, specimen collection, processing, and expected results for diagnosing malignant and benign mediastinal disorders.
