Treatment Details

Interventions

• Uncuffed Endotracheal Tube

Trial Overview The study compares using an uncuffed endotracheal tube (UCETT) versus not using any tube during the EBUS-TBNA procedure. It looks at how well patients tolerate the process, its duration, oxygen levels in blood (desaturation), and sedative medication needed.

Participant Groups

Group I: uncuffed endotracheal group Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Group II: no endotracheal tube group/control Active Control 1 Intervention
