Conditions

Sedation During Bronchoscopy

Keywords

I.V. sedation, midazolam, bronchoscopy

Brief summary

Bronchoscopy is a technique which currently allows the investigation of many respiratory diseases (infections, neoplasia, inflammation…) as well as endobronchial therapeutic procedures. Good flexible bronchoscopy diagnostic practices suggest the use of anxiolytic premedication before endoscopy, but practices concerning the use of sedation further to the completion of the endoscopy are very heterogeneous. We thus propose to compare, during a randomize, controlled trial, respiratory tolerance to I.V. versus sublingual sedation in two groups of patients indergoing bronchoscopy

Interventions

DRUGI.V Sedation

Patients who will undergo bronchoscopy will be followed during one day. They will be randomized in the I.V. sedation group

DRUGsublingual sedation

Patients who will undergo bronchoscopy will be followed during one day. They will be randomized in the sublingual sedation group

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Intensity of dyspnea1 dayIntensity of dyspnea assessed by the patient 1h after bronchoscopy in both groups measured by VAS (visual analogue scale) score (in millimeters on a 0 to 100 scale).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
VAS Individual scores1 dayVAS Individual scores performed 1 hour after bronchoscopy (cough, nausea, pain, anxiety, overall tolerance)
Blood pressure1 dayBlood pressure (mean blood pressure measurements made before, during and after the exam)
Desaturation frequency1 dayDesaturation frequency during bronchoscopy, defined by the lowering of transcutaneous oxygen saturation below 90%
OAAS Score1 dayOAAS Score after bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy duration1 dayBronchoscopy duration (time difference between the input and output of the examination room, and between the start and end of bronchoscopy)
Comparison of midazolam total dose1 dayComparison of midazolam total dose administered in each group
heart rate1 dayInitial and maximum heart rate during bronchoscopy (continuous monitoring)
