Study summary

Flexible bronchoscopy almost always requires sedation to be successful. In order to increase the availability of propofol for sedation, non-anaesthesiologist administered propofol sedation has been suggested as an alternative to traditional midazolam/opioid sedation or the general anaesthesia provided by anaesthesiologists.

Hypothesis: Patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy prefers non-anaesthesiologist administered sedation with propofol as opposed to non-anaesthesiologist administered sedation with midazolam and fentanyl.

Propofol sedation is as safe as midazolam and fentanyl sedation.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Propofol sedation

    Refract bolus propofol sedation as monotherapy administered by a sedation-trained nurse endoscopist. Induction with 10-60 mg bolus, repeated every 45-60 sec. until moderate sedation. Maintenance with 10-20 mg of propofol in case of discomfort.

    Drug: Propofol sedation

  • Active comparator
    Midazolam and Fentanyl sedation

    1-2 mg of Midazolam with 0.025-0.05 mg of fentanyl for induction 10 prior to procedure initiation. Maintenance with 1 mg Midazolam in case of discomfort.

    Drug: Midazolam and Fentanyl sedation

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Satisfaction with sedation

    The average duration of bronchoscopy is estimated to 20 minutes. A validated satisfaction questionnaire will be filled by the patient at discharge from the recovery room, on average 30 minutes after completed procedure. Readiness for discharge will be assessed using an Aldrete score.

    Time frame: At discharge, on average 30 minutes after procedure termination.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of adverse events as a surrogate marker of safety.

    Adverse events as a dichotomous value of "no event" or "event". Events are: The use of rescue medicine, and cardiopulmonary support per-operatively, blood pressure deviation from baseline over 30% of Mean Arterial Pressure, oxygen saturation \< 90%, and arrhythmias will be recorded for the duration of the procedure.

    Time frame: During procedure. On average 20 minutes.

Other outcomes

  1. Patient comfort

    Patient discomfort/comfort will be registered on a validated scale during the procedure and recorded by the endoscopy nurse. If the procedure was unsuccessful due to discomfort, this will also be recorded.

    Time frame: Per-operatively, on average 20 minutes
