About this study

Official title: The Effect and Safety of Different Sedation Strategies for Diagnostic Bronchoscopy

Diagnostic bronchoscopy is an invasive procedure performed to diagnose respiratory diseases. But pain has been complained by most of the patients receiving such procedures. Sedation or anesthesia was required by both of the patients and bronchoscopists. Unfortunately, no consensus has been made upon the sedation strategies. Multiple sedation approaches have been applied, such as midazolam and fentanyl, remifentanil and propofol, dexmedetomidine and propofol. The present study was designed to compare these protocols in sedation for diagnostic bronchoscopy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MidazolamDrug

    Midazolam is used as a common medication for sedation in all groups.

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    Dexmedetomidine is used for sedation in bronchoscopy with less impact on respiration.

  • RemifentanilDrug

    Remifentanil is used for analgesia to prevent bronchoscopy induced cough.

  • FentanylDrug

    Fentanyl is another opioid drug used for analgesia to prevent bronchoscopy induced cough.

  • PropofolDrug

    Propofol is used for sedation with high efficacy but more side effect on respiration than dexmedetomidine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cough score

    Cough score across the procedure will be classified into 4 degree (1-4) as follows. 1 = none, 2 = one gag or cough only, 3 = >1 gag or cough, but acceptable conditions, 4 = unacceptable conditions

    Measured: From the completion of local anesthesia with lidocaine to the completion of bronchoscopy procedure, assessed up to 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Body movement

    The numbers of the times of any body movement across the procedure

    Measured: From the completion of local anesthesia with lidocaine to the completion of bronchoscopy procedure, assessed up to 2 hours

  2. Satisfaction score of the patients and bronchoscopists

    Satisfaction score of the patients and bronchoscopists regarding to the sedation quality measured by a 0-100 visual analogue scale (VAS). 100 refers to the highest satisfaction degree while 0 refers to the worst satisfaction degree.

    Measured: Across the procedure, assessed up to 2 hours

  3. Amount of the rescue use of propofol

    The total amount of propofol used as a rescue therapy when the sedation is not deep enough as assessed by the anesthesiologists.

    Measured: After sedation induction, assessed up to 2 hours

  4. Recovery time

    Duration of the recovery from sedation

    Measured: After termination of the sedation medication, assessed up to 2 hours

  5. Prevalence of the side effects of respiratory and circulatory system

    The number of the side effects in respiratory and circulatory system during the procedure, including hypertension, hypotension, tackycardia, bradycardia, hypoxia and larynx spasm.

    Measured: Across the sedation duration, assessed up to 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Midazolam, Dexmedetomidine and Remifentanil in people with Bronchoscopy and Sedation, run by Changhai Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The sample size should be re-calculated based on the first 28 cases.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cough score (time frame: From the completion of local anesthesia with lidocaine to the completion of bronchoscopy procedure, assessed up to 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jun 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 2 Nov 2026.
