Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Efficacy of nebulized tranexamic acid in increasing the adequacy of endobronchial biopsy.  Adequate sample will be
defined as biopsy sample sufficient for histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular
analysis. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To assess the efficacy to control bleeding during endobronchial biopsy.  Severity of bleeding: Mild: requiring continuous suctioning and bleeding stopped
spontaneously.
Moderate: requiring use of cold saline or epinephrine to control bleeding.

Severe: placement of bronchial blocker /balloon catheter/ applying fibrin sealant, fluid
resuscitation/ blood transfusion, admission to critical care unit or death. 
To assess the procedure length.  Length of the procedure from nebulization with study agent to end of the procedure.
Length of the procedure as assessed from introduction of scope to the end of the procedure. 
To assess the number and size of biopsies obtained.  Number of biopsies will be determined based upon successful passes taken and size will be
compared with the cup of the forceps, small- cup is bigger than tissue,Medium- tissue
fills the cup, large- tissue is largen than the cup 
To assess the safety of nebulized tranexamic acid just prior to endobronchial biopsy.  Incidence and frequency all adverse events and SAEs will be reported as per the CTCAE
Version 5.0.

Brief Summary   Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic agent that can be used to prevent the dissolution of fibrin clots. Recent studies have shown that using nebulized tranexamic acid would reduce hemoptysis in patients who presented to emergency. Bleeding is one of the well recognized complications of conventional endobronchial biopsies that could be sometimes life-threatening and would result in the reduced yield of the biopsy sample. The current study aims at studying the use of nebulized tranexamic acid in increasing the yield and controlling bleeding during endobronchial biopsy procedure
