- Conditions
- Lung Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT00440960
- Lead Sponsor
- Hospital Pompeia
- Brief Summary
The objective of the study was to establish which anesthetic procedure used during flexible bronchoscopy has the lowest index of complications.
- Detailed Description
This prospective randomized study analyzed 80 patients that underwent flexible bronchoscopy. Patients were randomly assigned to four groups of 20 patients each according to the anesthetic combination used: 200 mg topical lidocaine (LID group); 200 mg topical lidocaine and 2 mg/kg propofol (PPF group); 200 mg topical lidocaine and 20 mcg/kg alfentanil (ALF group); or 200 mg topical lidocaine and 0.05 mg/kg midazolam (MID group). Scores were assigned to patients according to the different variables observed during the endoscopic procedure; the lower the score, the lower the complication index.
