Brief summary

This study was comprised of 30 patients who were scheduled for a diagnostic bronchoscopy due to a suspicion of lung cancer in order to obtain tissue samples for a final diagnosis , four biopsies were taken by each of cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy , to evaluate and compare the diagnostic yield of endobronchial cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy in the diagnosis of lung cancer .

Detailed description

Diagnostic bronchoscopic interventions are used to evaluate and tissue sample from endobronchial lesions utilising variety of devices that can be delivered through the operative channel of a fibrio-optic bronchoscope. All of the procedures were carried out with 2% lidocaine instillation and midazolam IV sedation All patients signed a written informed consent form for bronchoscopy and tissue sampling with forceps and a cryoprobe.between August 2020 and June 2021. All interventions were performed in the bronchoscopy unit of the Chest Medicine Department at Benha university Data were collected, revised, coded and entered to the Statistical Package for Social Science (IBM SPSS) version 23. The quantitative data with parametric distribution were presented as mean, standard deviations and ranges.

Intervention model description

A total number of 30 participants were enrolled in our study. These individuals had a diagnostic bronchoscopy because they had a suspicion of lung cancer and needed tissue samples to confirm the diagnosis. All of the procedures were carried out with 2% lidocaine instillation and midazolam IV sedation
