About this study

In this research, the investigators will asses the effect of BIS monitoring on propofol usage during elective flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

The investigators will examine whether use of BIS monitor enables reduction of sedative dose during bronchoscopy.

The investigators will also examine whether administration of lower total sedative dose enables prevention of possible complications.

Read the detailed description

During flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFP) a narrow optic tube is inserted via the mouth or nose into the airways. This allows direct visualization of the airways as well as taking different samples. In addition, this procedure allows opening of airway obstruction.

Administration of sedation during FFP is important, since this diminishes patient discomfort and body movements. It also lessens the untoward physiologic response to airway manipulation. In addition, patients requiring repeated examinations may refuse if they have suffered an unpleasant experience.

FFP is usually a brief procedure (several minutes up to an hour). Therefore, it is advantageous to use short acting drugs in order to shorten the prolonged post procedural monitoring and allow rapid patient discharge.

Several clinical trials have shown the superiority of propofol over midazolam for sedation during bronchoscopy regarding recovery of alertness, memory \& motor function.

Propofol is a sedative-hypnotic with rapid onset and short duration. Using propofol, one can achieve rapid onset of sedation and faster recovery.

Propofol given in boluses of 10-20 mg was found as an effective dose to reach BIS target values.

Awareness is the postoperative recollection of events occurring during general anesthesia.

BIS is a monitor of anesthetic depth approved by the FDA. It incorporates time-domain, frequency-domain and bi-spectral analysis of the EEG. This analysis is displayed as a dimensionless number between zero (deep anesthesia) and 100 (awake).

BIS values between 80-90 represent values corresponding to light/moderate sedation

    BIS is a monitor of anesthetic depth approved by the FDA. It incorporates time-domain, frequency-domain and bi-spectral analysis of the EEG. This analysis is displayed as a dimensionless number between zero (deep anesthesia) and 100 (awake).

    BIS values between 80-90 represent values corresponding to light/moderate sedation.

    BIS is a valuable tool for assessing the depth of sedation and guiding the administration of sedative drugs.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Total sedative dose in mg.

    Measured: Duration of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (an average of 30 minutes)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentages of patients which developed complications resulting from use of sedatives

    The investigators will assess the occurrence of the following complications: hemodynamic instability, hypoxemia, respiratory depression.

    Measured: Duration of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (an average of 30 minutes) up to 10 minutes after completion of procedure

  2. Percentages of awareness during flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy

    Measured: Duration of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (an average of 30 minutes)
