Brief summary
The present study aims to investigate prospectively and systematically the direct and indirect complications occurring within 30 days after guided-bronchoscopy and/or endosonography. The results of the study should reliably help clarify further incidence, pattern, risk factors, and outcomes for both immediate and late complications associated with these key diagnostic procedures.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTGuided bronchoscopy and/or endosonography
