Olympus NA-2C-1 Transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA)

The TBNA apparatus (Olympus NA-2C-1) is inserted through the working channel, and is advanced until it reaches the target lesion which is localized by EBUS. Negative manual suction is applied with the 20 ml syringe. The specimens are then smeared on glass slides and immersed in 95% alcohol. At least 3 aspirates per lesion are obtained.
