Navigation Endoscopy to Reach Indeterminate Lung Nodules Versus Trans-Thoracic Needle Aspiration
Two different procedures are available for lung nodule biopsy: a computed tomography guided biopsy ("CT-guided biopsy") which consists of sampling the nodule from the "outside-in", through the chest wall with CT guidance, and navigation bronchoscopy, which is a procedure using technology designed to guide a catheter through the natural airway …

The Ultrasound-guided vs Bronchoscopy-guided vs Ultrasound-bronchoscopy-guided Percutaneous Tracheostomy Trial, The Ultrasound-guided vs Bronchoscopy-guided vs Ultrasound-bronchoscopy-guided Percutaneous Tracheostomy Trial (BRONCUS-PDT) test The Ultrasound-guided vs Bronchoscopy-guided vs Ultrasound-bronchoscopy-guided Percutaneous Tracheostomy Trial (BRONCUS-PDT) (BRONCUS-PDT)
This trial (BRONCUS) is a randomized one designed to evaluate the overall safety of ultrasound guided compared to bronchoscopy guided compared to ultrasound-bronchoscopy guided percutaneous tracheostomy, in order to find out if universal standardization is required or customized approach can be sufficient.

Prevention of Endotracheal Tube Migration by Cuff Palpation During Robotic Surgical Procedure
After intubation, the endotracheal tube was finally fixed after palpating endotracheal cuff at three sites (just below the cricoid cartilage, at suprasternal level and just below suprasternal notch). Fibre optic bronchoscopy will be done to find distance between tip of endotracheal tube and carina. This distance will be measured repeatedly, …

Improving Colonoscopy Quality for Colorectal Cancer Screening in the National VA Healthcare System
High quality screening colonoscopy is critical for colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention in Veterans. There is significant variability in colonoscopy quality in VA that is directly linked to differences in CRC incidence and death. The investigators developed the VA Endoscopy Quality Improvement Program (VA-EQuIP) that the National GI program office will …

Towards Targeting the ORigin of the Inflammatory Cascade in Allergic Asthma
In addition, blood and nasal epithelial brushes will be obtained to study the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of asthma. Finally, bronchoscopy with bronchial biopsies and brushes will be performed under conscious sedation. Bronchial biopsies from both patient groups will be used for single cell transcriptional analysis.
