The Essential EBUS Bronchoscopist(c) contains a specific competency-oriented list of learning objectives and thirty multiple choice question/answer sets. Information pertains to major topics related to endobronchial ultrasound and EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration, including ultrasound physics, mediastinal anatomy, patient preparation, indications contraindications and complications, bronchoscopic technique, image acquisition, radiographic interpretation and ultrasound image pattern recognition, equipment malfunction and troubleshooting, nodal sampling strategies, specimen collection, and expected results for diagnosing and staging lung cancer and other disorders involving the mediastinum. This module pertains only to convex-probe EBUS and does not cover in detail radial-probe based interventions. As for volume 1 in the Bronchoscopy Education Project series, The Essential Bronchoscopist, the aim of The Essential EBUS Bronchoscopist(c) is to enhance the learner's progress along the learning curve from novice to competent practitioner.

This high-yield reference book focuses on the clinical, technical, and pathological aspects of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). Its reviews cover all aspects of EBUS-TBNA, including the clinical perspective, technical aspects of the procedure, and cytomorphology of common and uncommon entities, as well as highlights diagnostic challenges. Each chapter features a multitude of full-color high-resolution images and includes key references to the current literature in the field. Additionally, reference tables and informative figures highlight the salient points. The book is unique in that it is written by experienced thoracic surgeons, pulmonary medicine physicians, and cytopathologists who use EBUS-TBNA in a large medical center. This publication is of interest to individuals learning and practicing cytopathology, in addition to clinicians practicing pulmonary/thoracic medicine or surgery. In short, it provides important pearls of wisdom to create a comprehensive reference for all physicians involved with EBUS-TBNA.

The Essential Flexible Bronchoscopist is comprised of six multiple choice question/answer self-learning modules (186 total questions and answers) dedicated to flexible bronchoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the larynx, tracheal and bronchial tree. Each module also contains numerous a list of module-specific competency-based learning objectives and a ten question post-test addressing fundamentals of flexible bronchoscopy. This novel text and well-illustrated contains information pertaining to topics such as anatomy and airway abnormalities, patient preparation, indications, contraindications and complications, techniques and solutions to technical problems, lung cancer and infections, bronchoalveolar lavage, lung biopsy techniques, therapeutic and interventional bronchoscopy, anesthesia and medications, equipment and its maintenance, infection control, images of specific airway disease abnormalities, as well as bronchoscopy history and education. The Essential Flexible Bronchoscopist provides educators, program directors, medical practitioners, and physicians in-training with an in-depth, readily accessible and readable competency-oriented tool that enhances progress along the learning curve from novice to competent practitioner. Since the first edition of this volume, The Essential Flexible Bronchoscopist has been translated into thirteen languages, and is recognized around the world as an essential training resource in pulmonary/critical care medicine and interventional pulmonology.

Endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) is an exciting new diagnostic tool that has added significantly to the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer and other thoracic diseases. This book is co-authored by one of the technology's pioneers and will help the reader to use EBUS to diagnose and stage lung cancer and a variety of different tumours of the chest region. Endobronchial Ultrasonography covers all of the standard techniques and the new developments involved in EBUS as it combines two common procedures, bronchoscopy and real-time ultrasonography. This allows physicians to obtain precise biopsies of lymph nodes and masses within the chest cavity. Over 250 high quality colour digital images are featured throughout the book to illustrate the different applications of EBUS, complemented by specific case studies. This book is accompanied by a companion website featuring over 30 video clips cited in the text.

A comprehensive and unique review of the bronchoscopy, equipment and quality improvement fundamentals.

Endobronchial ultrasound has received explosive attention amongst pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons and gastroenterologists and the procedure is increasingly being performed. Even though the technology has been in use for over 10 years, technical modifications have just recently lead to the ability for near ubiquitous use. The editors and contributors have all been active in the field for years, are well published and certainly are considered opinion leaders and well-traveled teachers, having offered many courses in bronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound.

The Essential cTBNA Bronchoscopist contains thirty multiple choice question/answer sets and a twelve question post-test pertaining to conventional transbronchial needle aspiration. This minimally invasive procedure is used to diagnose airway disorders and diseases affecting the mediastinum. These include Sarcoidosis, lung cancer, tuberculosis, lymphoma, and other disorders such as infections or other tumors that spread to the lymph glands or are adjacent to the tracheobronchial tree. Topics include indications, technical pearls, potential complications, expected results, patient, operator and equipment safety, mediastinal and airway anatomy, and how cTBNA is used alongside other bronchoscopic procedures such as biopsy, bronchoalveolar lavage, brushing, and EBUS-guided TBNA. This seventy page volume is the third in the Essential Bronchoscopist series of bronchoscopy training manuals offered by Bronchoscopy International, a transnational group of medical educators dedicated to an "education without borders."

In this fourth edition of the popular Flexible Bronchoscopy, which has been revised and updated throughout, the world's leading specialists discuss the technical and procedural aspects of performing diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy. Four new chapters have been added, taking into account new developments in EBUS and electromagnetic navigation.

Anesthesia for Otolaryngologic Surgery offers a comprehensive synopsis of the anesthetic management options for otolaryngologic and bronchoscopic procedures. Authored by world authorities in the fields of anesthesiology and otolaryngology, both theoretical concepts and practical issues are addressed in detail, providing literature-based evidence wherever available and offering expert clinical opinion where rigorous scientific evidence is lacking. A full chapter is dedicated to every common surgical ENT procedure, as well as less common procedures such as face transplantation. Clinical chapters are enriched with case descriptions, making the text applicable to everyday practice. Chapters are also enhanced by numerous illustrations and recommended anesthetic management plans, as well as hints and tips that draw on the authors' extensive experience. Comprehensively reviewing the whole field, Anesthesia for Otolaryngologic Surgery is an invaluable resource for every clinician involved in the care of ENT surgical patients, including anesthesiologists, otolaryngologists and pulmonologists.
