Case observations show vigilance during endobronchial ultrasound biopsies is crucial to prevent pneumothorax.
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has become an essential tool in lung cancer staging and the diagnosis of centrally located pulmonary lesions. Vigilance during EBUS-guided biopsy is crucial. The disappearance of a previously visualised lesion should raise suspicion of a developing pneumothorax. We present our experience with an intra-procedural pneumothorax following EBUS-guided biopsy and discuss the procedural considerations relevant to its prompt recognition and management.
