Search Strategies: Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopy through Tracheostomy 
Tube to Support a Case Report 
 
Ali Imran Saeed, M.D. and Jonathan D. Eldredge, Ph.D. 
 
Purpose:  
 
To search in the PubMed and Web of Science databases to identify similar reports and 
confirm the hypothesis that we have a unique report.   
 
PubMed: 
 
MeSH term: To start the search in PubMed, MeSH terms were identified by reviewing 
different articles.  
 
On September 6
th
 2013 the following MeSH terms were selected and combined in 
PubMed with OR:   
 
-Bronchoscopy/instrumentation 
-Ultrasonography (includes Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration) 
-Biopsy, Fine-Needle 
 
Next, the following MeSH terms were combined with OR: 
 
-Tracheostomy  
-Tracheotomy 
 
The two large retrievals from above were combined with AND: this resulted in 72 
references to peer reviewed articles. Only two references seemed initially relevant, but 
turned out to be unrelated. The reference to an article by Murgu S, et al. describes an 
endobronchial ultrasound finding of tracheomalacia and the second reference to an article 
by Hatfield A, et al. describes the utility of neck ultrasound before performing 
tracheostomy. 
 
To rule out the possibility that any references that were not captured by the MeSH terms 
existed, a second search on the same day using the text word search strategy: 
endobronch*[tw] AND ultraso*[tw] using the human study filter  produced 691 
references. Of these only one article appeared relevant to the search topic. Morócz E, et 
al. describe the utility of endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscope to identify ultrasound 
characteristics of tracheal cartilage to guide selection of medical vs. surgical 
management.  
 
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is not a MeSH term. A third search strategy included 
combining "Tracheostomy"[Mesh] AND EBUS [tw]. This search did not find any 
references to a relevant article. 
CTSC MSCR BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS LEVEL II. FALL 2013- ALI I. SAEED, M.D.   
 
A fourth comprehensive search strategy using EBUS[tw] AND tracheostomy[tw] also did 
not reveal any references to a pertinent article. 
 
 
Web of Science: 
 
Web of Science with the “All Data Base” search option was used to identify additional 
pertinent references. This search strategy revealed four references, but no reference 
pertinent to the current search. The search strategy consisted of the following: 
 
Topic=(endobronch*) AND Topic=(ultraso*) AND Topic=(tracheostom*)  
Timespan=All years Search language=English
