Trial summary

Several sedatives or analgesics can be used to achieve appropriate levels of sedation for endoscopic procedures. Dexmedetomide is notable for providing sedation without respiratory depression. We hypothesized dexmedetomide is more suitable for sedation of bronchoscopy than other sedative drugs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Dexmedetomidine and Propofol for Sedation in Adult Patients Undergoing Flexible Bronchoscopy -A Retrospective Review

Several sedatives or analgesics can be used to achieve appropriate levels of sedation for endoscopic procedures. Dexmedetomide is notable for providing sedation without respiratory depression. We hypothesized dexmedetomide is more suitable for sedation of bronchoscopy than other sedative drugs.

Read the detailed description

A retrospective chart review was conducted. All patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy with moderate sedation were enrolled.The primary analysis outcome was safety profile during procedure included incidence of procedure interruption, incidence of snoring and observed apnea, transient hypoxemia and hypotension. The secondary outcome was measured by recovery profile (awake and ambulation time).
