About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Sedation for Flexible Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy: Comparison of Propofol/Alfentanil With Propofol/Ketamine

A prospective, randomized, patient-blinded comparison of the safety and efficacy of conscious sedation by propofol/alfentanil with propofol/ketamine in patients undergoing flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

Read the detailed description

The study group will include 80 patients undergoing flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy(FFB).

Patients will be randomly assigned prior to the procedure to receive sedation by either propofol/alfentanil (PA group) or propofol/ketamine (PK group), using either the sealed envelope method or by computer randomization.

All patients will receive local anesthesia with Lidocaine 2% (total dose of 5-10 ml) that will be sprayed via the bronchoscope on the vocal cords before passage through them, as well as into the bronchial tree in order to suppress coughing.

In addition, patients from both groups will optionally receive intravenous Midazolam (up to a total dose of 0.05 mg/kg)if deemed necessary during the procedure.

Sedation will be started by 10-15 mcg/kg Alfentanil and 0.4 mg/kg Propofol, or by 0.2-0.3 mg/kg Ketamine and 0.4 mg/kg Propofol. It will be maintained by additional boluses of Propofol (aliquots of 10-50 mg) or by additional boluses of Propofol (aliquots of 10-50 mg) and/or Ketamine (aliquots of 5-25 mg).

All patients will receive supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula (2-4 L/min) before the beginning of the procedure.

Patients whose functional oxygen saturation (SpO2) prior to the beginning of the procedure will be lower than 92% while connected to a nasal cannula, will receive oxygen supplementation via a face mask.

If the SpO2 after initiation of sedation will fall below 90%, the patients' airways will be opened using a jaw-thrust maneuver or insertion of a nasal airway. Should the SpO2 remain low, the patient will receive oxygen supplementation via a face-mask.

If deemed necessary, additional safety measures will be taken by the anesthesiologist or by the performer of the bronchoscopy, such as administration of oxygen directly through the bronchoscope, assisted ventilation with an Ambu bag, and tracheal intubation.

The duration of bronchoscopy will be calculated from the administration of sedation until the flexible bronchoscope is removed from the tracheobronchial tree.

In all cases, patients will be monitored using continuous electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, and transcutaneous carbon dioxide (PtCO2, using a digital sensor placed on the patient's earlobe),and automated noninvasive blood pressure recordings every 5 minutes. All parameters will be recorded beginning from prior to connecting the patient to the nasal cannula before initiation of sedation, throughout the entire procedure and until 10 minutes after removal of the bronchoscope from the nasopharynx.

Immediately after the end of the procedure, the bronchoscopist will grade the quality of sedation (ease of performing the procedure) by Visual Analog Scale.

A questionnaire evaluating pain and discomfort by Visual Analog Scale will be completed by the patient when fully awake after the procedure.(~30 minutes after the end of the procedure).

Percutaneous carbon dioxide tension, blood oxygenation, heart rate, and blood pressure will be compared between the groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percutaneous carbon dioxide tension

    Continuous measurements (record every 4 seconds). Throughout the duration of fiberoptic bronchoscopy - from the beginning of the procedure until 10 minutes after its termination.

    Measured: Average expected time of 45 minutes

  2. oxygen saturation

    Continuous measurements (record every 4 seconds). Throughout the duration of fiberoptic bronchoscopy - from the beginning of the procedure until 10 minutes after its termination.

    Measured: Average expected time of 45 minutes.

  3. heart rate

    Continuous measurements (record every 4 seconds). Throughout the duration of fiberoptic bronchoscopy - from the beginning of the procedure until 10 minutes after its termination.

    Measured: Average expected time of 45 minutes

  4. Non-invasive blood pressure

    Every 5 minutes. Throughout the duration of fiberoptic bronchoscopy - from the beginning of the procedure until 10 minutes after its termination

    Measured: Average expected time of 45 minutes

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Oxygen supplementation

    Significant hypoxemia, defined as functional SpO2 of 90%, will be treated initially with a jaw thrust maneuver. If it lasts more than few seconds, a naso/oropharyngeal tube will be inserted or supplemental oxygen will be delivered via face mask at 10 L min-1.

    The percentage of patients who needed supplemental oxygen will be evaluated

    Measured: Average expected time of 45 minutes

  2. Naso/oropharyngeal tube insertion

    Significant hypoxemia, defined as functional SpO2 of 90%, will be treated initially with jaw support. If it lasts more than few seconds, a naso/oropharyngeal tube will be inserted or supplemental oxygen will be delivered via face mask at 10 L min-1

    The percentage of patients who needed Naso/oropharyngeal tube insertion will be evaluated

    Measured: Average expected time of 45 minutes

  3. A questionnaire evaluating pain and discomfort

    A questionnaire evaluating pain and discomfort by Visual Analog Scale will be completed by the patient when awake after the procedure.(~30 minutes after the end of the procedure)

    Measured: Ca. 30 minutes after the end of the procedure (average expected time of 60 minutes)

  4. A questionnaire evaluating the quality of sedation

    A questionnaire evaluating the quality of sedation and the ease of performing the procedure by Visual Analog Scale will be completed by the bronchoscopist immediately after the procedure.

    Measured: Immediately after end of procedure (average expected time of 30 minutes)

  5. Total propofol dosage

    The total amount of propofol used throughout the procedure will be calculated.

    Measured: Average expected time of 30 minutes

  6. Time to full awakening and orientation

    Time from termination of the procedure to full awakening and orientation

    Measured: Anticipated to be in the range of 1-30 minutes after the end of the procedure

  7. Time to discharge

    The time from the termination of the procedure until the patient is discharged from the recovery unit will be measured.

    Measured: Average expected time of 60 minutes. Anticipated to be in the range of 45-120 minutes after the end of fiberoptic bronchoscopy
