December 12, 2022 . At 9:30am- I registered at St Joseph for the EBUS/EUS procedure with Dr. Hanna for 10:30.  FYI - EBUS is a way of looking inside and around the airways to identify lymph node in the mediastinum and take biopsies when needed.  There are 2 steps to this procedure.EUS is performed during gastrointestinal endoscopy. The doctor looks inside the airways of the lungs first using a tube called a bronchoscope.  Pictures are sent to a television monitor as the scope goes down.  Then doctor then inserts the EBUS scope.  The doctor presses a button on the scope and the ultrasound begins.  Sound waves bounce off the structures in the area and produce ...
