Scientific titleBolus administration versus continuous infusion of Propofol sedation in flexible bronchoscopy: a randomised non-inferiority trial
Study acronymPropofol Study
Study objectivesPropofol is a sedative-hypnotic with a rapid onset of action coupled with smooth and rapid recovery. Multiple studies using it as a sedative agent for gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures have shown propofol to be safe and effective. More recently propofol-only sedation was shown to be a feasible and safe sedation method for bronchoscopic procedures as well. In the vast majority of studies an intermittent bolus technique was used. Hardly any data exists for the use of propofol using a continuous infusion as the sedation method in bronchoscopy. To show that for sedation in flexible bronchoscopy the use of propofol using a continuous infusion is associated with a incidence of complications within 5% of that of an intermittent bolus technique, or better.
Ethics approval(s)The study protocol has been submitted to the Ethics Committee, Basel, Switzerland
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPulmonary disease diagnosis, need for flexible bronchoscopy
InterventionPropofol continous infusion versus bolus for sedation in flexible bronchoscopy
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Number (percentage) of complications (oxygen desaturation less than or equal to 90%
2. Need for chin-support
3. Need for nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal airway insertion
4. Need for intubation
5. Hypotension with a systolic blood pressure of less than 90 mmHg
6. Minor or major bleeding
7. Intensive Care Unit [ICU] need post-bronchoscopy
8. Pneumothorax
9. Need to abort bronchoscopy
10. Death
These outcomes are assessed by the study physician during and up to 24 hours after the procedure
Secondary outcome measures1. Total dose of propofol,dose of propofol per kilogram body weight and per minute
2. Duration of the procedure
3. Mean lowest oxygen saturation during the procedure
4. Mean lowest systolic blood pressure during the procedure
5. Hemodynamic parameters other than blood pressure during and after the procedure
6. Cough scores, as assessed by a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) by patients, nurses and physicians during and 2 hours after the procedure
7. Patient discomfort
8. Median patient overall well-being (comfort) at 1 and 2 hours after the procedure
9. Willingness to undergo a repeated procedure, assessed by a VAS 2 hours after the procedure
10. Fear of undergoing a repeated procedure, assessed by a VAS 2 hours after the procedure
11. Supplemental lidocaine doses, assessed by the nurse team and study physician during the procedure, as judged by the bronchoscopist
12. Medication doses, assessed by the nurse team and study physician during the procedure, as judged by the bronchoscopist
