Study Summary

This trial compares two different types of ventilation for the prevention of partial or complete collapsed lung (atelectasis) in patients undergoing bronchoscopy under general anesthesia. Ventilatory strategy to prevent atelectasis (VESPA) may work better than standard of care mechanical ventilation to reduce the intra-procedural development of atelectasis during bronchoscopy under general anesthesia.

Primary Outcome

The proportion of patients identified as developing intraprocedural atelectasis by radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS) and its 95% confidence interval will be estimated. The proportion of patients developing intraprocedural atelectasis will be compared between treatment and control arms, utilizing a 2-sided Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test to accomplish primary objective. Locations of atelectasis will be summarized in a frequency table, allowing for multiple locations in the sa
