According to the literature, this study aimed to assess a vanderbilt university of patients undergoing electromagnetic navigation br onchoscopy to aid in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions.100 lung lesions were sampled in 82 patients.A th-190 therapeutic bronchoscope (olympus america© [center valley, pa, usa]) was used for every procedure.After the airway examination was completed, the preselected illumisite extended working channel (ewc) with a locatable guide (lg) was introduced into the working channel.Registration was completed, and peripheral navigation was commenced.Pneumothorax: three (3) pneumothoraces were identified in the immediate postprocedure phase and required management with a chest tube.Bleeding: bleeding requiring intervention in 2 patients (defined as grade 2¿4 of the nashville working group scale) was noted.There were no procedure-related hospital admissions.Oxygen support needed: five percent of patients required temporary supplemental oxygen support.This was defined as a de novo need for supplemental oxygen or an increase in their previously prescribed ambulatory supply.Ewc-lg uncoupling: ¿although uncommon, we experienced a handful of electronic ewc-lg uncoupling instances, even though their physical connection was maintained.This was a rare occurrence and was not tracked in the database.
