Overview
Brief Summary
Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) sedation requires keeping sedative level in a narrow window to prevent over or under sedation. Sedative drug titration according to subjective adjustment by individual physician may cause unsteady drug concentration. Target controlled infusion (TCI) has been provided a precise pharmacokinetic control of propofol, direct control the effect side, (eg. Brain) concentration (Ce), and been applied in surgical anesthesia and variable procedure sedation. We designed this pilot study to evaluate the optimal regimen of TCI in FB sedation.
Detailed Description
Propofol is ideal for bronchoscopy sedation because of its fast onset and quick recovery effect. Our research and reports from different investigators demonstrate that patients received propofol sedation recover fast with excellent satisfaction for bronchoscopy. However, the amount of propofol for induction and maintenance is calculated simply by patient's body weight and physicians' experience. For those non-anesthesiologists, who perform sedative work outside the operating room, and inexperienced anesthesiologist without fully considering the individual pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic differences may generate unstable drug plasma concentration and increase cardio-respiration suppression. Therefore, a manner which can assess and measure objectively individual pharmacokinetic differences may improve the sedative quality and decrease the complication rate. A model called "Target-controlled infusion"(TCI), built from massive pharmacokinetic samples of propofol, could now give precise pharmacokinetic control. Several pharmacokinetic models built-in in TCI, includes the Schnider model which use concentration of effect site (Ce, the propofol concentration in the brain) as the sedative guide. The model integrates individual variants of age, height, weight and gender to calculate the infusion profile to achieve predetermined steady "target effect site concentration" (Cet). Because of the unique consideration of individual pharmacokinetic variants and Ce targeting, TCI provides predictable sedative level and is suitable for procedures requiring narrowing therapeutic level. Beside general anesthesia, TCI has been applied in breast biopsy, upper gastrointestinal endoscopic ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography at outpatient clinic. According to these evidences, there is potential role of TCI in bronchoscopic sedation. Based on current evidence and our experience, we design this study to evaluate the optimal regimen for induction and procedure during bronchoscopy. We hope this study could provide the more safety and efficient bronchoscopic sedation for patients and physicians.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The Number of Patients With Hypoxemia During Flexible Bronchoscopy
Time Frame: During sedative induction and bronchoscopy
Hypoxemia is defined as: Oxyhemoglobin saturation (SPO2) is less than 90 % with any duration
The Number of Changes in Target Effect Site Concentration During Flexible Bronchoscopy
Time Frame: During sedative induction and bronchoscopy
The investigator will titrate the target effect site concentration (Cet) during bronchoscopy according to protocol to keep stable vital signs and sedative levels. The numbers of adjustment will be recorded to show which regimen required less adjustment to keep stable sedative levels and vital signs.
Secondary Outcomes
- The Recovery Time to Orientation(after bronchosocpy)
- The Total Doses of Propofol During Induction and Overall Procedures(after bronchoscopy)
- The Cooperation of Patients From the View of Bronchoscopists(After bronchoscopy)
- The Global Tolerance for Flexible Bronchoscopy(After recovery)
