JAMA·2019

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Bronchoscopy can induce significant patient anxiety due to the invasive nature of the procedure and unfamiliar surroundings.
  • Anxiety and stress negatively impact patient comfort, cooperation, and the overall success of bronchoscopic interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current sedation protocols for fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
  • To summarize the commonly used pharmacological agents for sedation in bronchoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing sedation protocols and pharmacological agents used in fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

Main Results:

  • Sedation effectively alleviates anxiety, reduces stress, and improves patient comfort and cooperation during bronchoscopy.
  • Specific pharmacological agents are commonly employed to achieve these sedative effects.

Conclusions:

  • Sedation should be routinely administered during fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
  • Routine sedation ensures a safer and more pleasant experience for both the patient and the pulmonologist.
