Diagnostic bronchoscopy is an invasive procedure performed to diagnose respiratory diseases.
But pain has been complained by most of the patients receiving such procedures. Sedation or
anesthesia was required by both of the patients and bronchoscopists. Unfortunately, no
consensus has been made upon the sedation strategies. Multiple sedation approaches have been
applied, such as midazolam and fentanyl, remifentanil and propofol, dexmedetomidine and
propofol. The present study was designed to compare these protocols in sedation for
diagnostic bronchoscopy.
