Scientific title
Study objectivesThe use of propofol for sedation in flexible bronchoscopy is associated with a mean low saturation within 2% of that of the combination of midazolam and hydrocodone, or better.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of Basel (Ethikkommission Beider Basel), approved on 29 August 2006 (ref: 19603)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSedation for flexible bronchoscopy
InterventionPatients will be randomly assigned to propofol (intravenous; iv) or the combination of midazolam and hydrocodone (iv) for sedation during flexible bronchoscopy. The doses of propofol and midazolam vary among the patients, depending on the level of sedation obtained. Hydrocodone will be used in the standard dose of 5 mg iv.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Propofol, midazolam and hydrocodone
Primary outcome measure1. Mean lowest oxygen saturation during the procedure
2. Median patient overall well-being (comfort) at 1 hour after the procedure
Secondary outcome measures1. Duration of the procedure
2. Hemodynamic parameters during and after the procedure
3. Cough scores, as assessed by a visual analogue scale by patients, nurses and physicians 2 hours after the procedure
4. Patient discomfort
5. Willigness to undergo a repeated procedure, assessed by a visual analogue scale 2 hours after the procedure
6. Fear of undergoing a repeated procedure, assessed by a visual analogue scale 2 hours after the procedure
7. Number (percentage) of complications (desaturation >90%, Chin-support, mild bledding, severe bleeding, nasopharyngeal-tube use, intubation, Intensive Care Unit [ICU] need post-bronchoscopy, hypotension, pneumothorax, death) assessed by the study physician during and up to 24 hours after the procedure
8. Supplemental lidocaine doses, assessed by the nurse team and study physician during the procedure, as judged by the bronchosopist
9. Medication doses, assessed by the nurse team and study physician during the procedure, as judged by the bronchoscopist
10. Median patient overall well-being (comfort) at 2 hours after the procedure
