  schema:description "A bronchoscopy passes a thin flexible camera into the airways to look and take samples; EBUS adds an ultrasound probe to sample lymph nodes in the chest, often to diagnose or stage lung cancer. You usually stop eating 4 hours before and clear fluids 2 hours before, have a numbing spray and usually sedation, and must not drive for 24 hours. Tell the team about blood thinners."@en ;
