Comparing two pain and sedation approaches for bronchoscopy
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two common drug combinations used to keep you comfortable and pain-free during a bronchoscopy. It aims to find out which approach is safer and more effective for people having this procedure for diagnosis or treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two ways of helping you relax during a bronchoscopy: one uses standard sedation with midazolam only, and the other adds ketorolac, a pain reliever that may improve comfort and breathing during the procedure. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer.
This study tests two ways of giving sedation during an endoscopic procedure to see which one helps you breathe better and recover faster. It may help find a more comfortable and safer sedation method for patients having this procedure.
This study compares two different ways of giving the sedative medicine propofol during surgery that requires a breathing tube. The goal is to find which method is safer and works better for people having planned operations.
This trial tests if dexmedetomidate or midazolam is safer and works better for sedation during a medical thoracoscopy, a procedure to look inside the chest. It may help you if you need this procedure for an unclear pleural effusion.
This study compares two different combinations of sedative medicines to see which one works better for adults who need a short procedure in the emergency department while awake but relaxed. It aims to find a safer and more comfortable way to keep patients calm during procedures lasting under 30 minutes.
This study compares two different anesthesia combinations for chest surgeries to see which one works better for keeping you comfortable and stable during the operation. Participants will receive one of the two combinations, helping doctors learn which approach is safer and more effective.
