Sedation Method
Conditions
Brief summary
To compare the difference of sedation monitoring for bronchoscopic examination monitoring by auditory evoked potentials (AEP) or Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS) in mechanical ventilated patients.
Interventions
In AEP monitoring group, nurses adjusted propofol dose according to AAI values. If AAI\>40, titrate up propofol dosage, AAI\<25, titrated down propofol dosage.
During bronchoscopy, nurses adjusted propofol dose according to Ramsay Sedation Scale.

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| mean propofol dose use during examination, times of propofol dose adjustment | 40 minutes |
