Sd-RAB for the Diagnosis of PPLs

Self-driving robotic-assisted bronchoscope (Shanghai MicroPort MedBot (Group) Corporation Limited, China) is a new robotic-assisted bronchoscopic system that can automatically advance through airway according to the preoperative planning path under the guidance of electromagnetic navigation. It can also be controlled manually by the operator. In this study, 30 patients will be prospectively enrolled to evaluate the feasibility and safety of this new self-driving robotic-assisted bronchoscopic system for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions. The primary endpoint of this study is the complication rate. The secondary endpoints include navigation success rate, diagnostic yield, rate of rEBUS confirmation, total examination time, navigation time, and duration of finding lesions.
