Comparing two sedation approaches for bronchoscopy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
