Comparing two sedation methods for bronchoscopy
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two drug combinations used to keep you comfortable and relaxed during a bronchoscopy. One uses propofol with pethidine, the other midazolam with pethidine. The goal is to find which approach works better.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether adding ketorolac (a pain reliever) to midazolam (a calming medicine) is better than midazolam alone for comfort during a flexible bronchoscopy (a camera tube placed in the lung airways). It aims to find a safer and more comfortable sedation approach.
This trial compares two methods of giving sedation during a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). It looks at how each method affects breathing, recovery, and brain activity.
This trial is testing if giving propofol sedation in small bursts or as a steady drip works better for people having an upper endoscopy (a camera down the throat). The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to help you stay comfortable during the procedure.
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 trial compares two sedative medications, Remimazolam and Propofol, to see which works better for upper GI endoscopy exams and treatments. The goal is to help doctors choose the best option for patients.
This trial tests whether putting a breathing tube in before sedation (instead of waiting until later) makes advanced bronchoscopy safer and more comfortable. If you need a bronchoscopy for diagnosis or treatment, this study may be an option for you.
