Conditions

Endobronchial Ultrasound Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration

Brief summary

1. Appropriate sedation is needed for medical diagnosis, treatment, and the safety for patients. In non-surgical approaches, benzodiazepines are broadly used for ideal sedated status for patients. * However, especially in bronchoscope procedure, continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation is needed to prevent hypoxia due to respiratory distress induced by benzodiazepine. * A alpha-2 agonist, dexmedetomidine, which has similar sedative effect, but has less adverse effect of respiratory distress compared to previous agents, was introduced. 2. It is necessary to compare the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine with that of midazolam in ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). * Double blind randomized trial * Primary outcome: The number and duration of desaturation, volume of sedative, any use of rescue midazolam, and Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS) score (for efficacy), and hypertension, tachycardia, any need for mandible support or manual ventilation, and any need for intubation (for safety).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The number of Desaturation eventsPatient followed for the entire duration of EBUS-TBNA and until discharge of bronchoscopy room, an expected average of 2 hoursThe number of desaturation (SpO2 \<90% for more than 5 seconds) events

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Total dose of intratracheal lidocaine instillationPatient followed for the entire duration of EBUS-TBNA and until discharge of bronchoscopy room, an expected average of 2 hoursCumulative dose of lidocaine administered at bronchus by the endoscopist for local anesthesia by topical instillation. Topical lidocaine instillation is performed in both the two arms for procedure as routine bronchoscopy.
Endoscopist satisfactionPatient followed for the entire duration of EBUS-TBNA and until discharge of bronchoscopy roomEndoscopist global satisfaction score based on a VAS score
Patient satisfactionPatient followed for the entire duration of EBUS-TBNA and until discharge of bronchoscopy room, an expected average of 2 hoursGlobal patient satisfaction associated with the procedure. Score based on a VAS score measured before the patients leave the bronchoscopy room.
RSS scorePatient followed for the entire duration of EBUS-TBNA and until discharge of bronchoscopy room, an expected average of 2 hoursRSS score: at the beginning of the procedure, minimum RSS score, every 5 minute
Duration of desaturation (sec)Patient followed for the entire duration of EBUS-TBNA, an expected average of 2 hours
Hemodynamic adverse eventPatient followed for the entire duration of EBUS-TBNA and until discharge of bronchoscopy room, an expected average of 2 hoursHypotension ( \< mean BP 60 mmHg) Bradycardia ( \< 50 bpm)
Use of rescue midazolamPatient followed for the entire duration of EBUS-TBNA and until discharge of bronchoscopy room, an expected average of 2 hoursUse of rescue midazolam, total dose
