Intraoperative data in cryobiopsy versus surgical lung biopsy

Variables	TBCB n = 34	SLB n = 23*	p value
Procedure time in mins, median (range)	50 (37–129)	44.5 (29–84)	0.015
Positive pressure time in mins, median (range)	64 (42–148)	91 (68–127)	< 0.001
Time in FiO2 100% in mins, median (range)	64 (42–148)	78 (0–111)	0.042
Fluid balance in ml, median (range)	500 (0–1300)	1010 (445–2000)	< 0.001

TBCB, transbronchial cryobiopsy; SLB, surgical lung biopsy

*One patient went to have a surgical lung biopsy at another institution, so intra-operative data is missing
