Conditions

Sedated Bronchoscopy in ASA Class III Patients

Interventions

Control group:Induction with intravenous bolus of propofol 2.0 mg/kg and alfentanil 8 µg/kg, followed by maintenance with continuous infusion pump of propofol at 1.5 mg/kg/h during the procedure.
Experimental group 1:Preoperative intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.75 µg/kg over 10 minutes followed by an alfentanil 8 µg/kg bolus for induction, with intraoperative maintenance via continuo
Experimental group 2:Preoperative intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 1.0 µg/kg over 10 minutes followed by an alfentanil 8 µg/kg bolus for induction, with intraoperative maintenance via continuou
