American College of Chest Physicians consensus statement on the use of topical anesthesia, analgesia, and sedation during flexible bronchoscopy in adult patients
2011, ChestCitation Excerpt :Fentanyl is the most commonly used drug in the setting of bronchoscopy because of its lipophilic properties resulting in a rapid onset of action and short half-life. Data on the use of opioids as single agents for bronchoscopy are limited; three randomized studies found opioids to be inferior to benzodiazepines in terms of procedure recall and amnesia40,54 and patient comfort.41 The main additive advantage of the use of opioids over benzodiazepines during bronchoscopy is better suppression of cough.41–43,55
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of bronchodilators for bronchoscopy in patients with COPD
2007, ChestCitation Excerpt :In addition, the patient's cough perception may have been influenced 2 h after the procedure because of the amnesic effect of midazolam. However, according to several previous studies, wake up time for combined sedation with an opiate and benzodiazepine seems to be between 35 to 60 min and discharge time 75 to 120 min after the procedure.34–36 Thus, we believe that it is fair to assume that patients were able to estimate their cough related to the procedure after 2 h.
Nebulized lidocaine for flexible bronchoscopy: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
2005, ChestCitation Excerpt :One possible limitation of this study is that tolerability may have been overestimated 2 h after the procedure because of the amnesic effect of midazolam. According to several previous studies,23, 24, 25 wake-up time for combined sedation with an opiate and benzodiazepine is 35 to 60 min and discharge time is 75 to 120 min after the procedure. We therefore believe that it is fair to assume that patients were able to estimate their discomfort during flexible bronchoscopy 2 h after the procedure.
