Popis: Background The difference in patient comfort with conscious sedation versus general anaesthesia for bronchoscopy has not been adequately assessed in a randomised trial. This study aimed to assess if patient comfort during bronchoscopy with conscious sedation is noninferior to general anaesthesia. Methods 96 subjects were randomised to receive conscious sedation or general anaesthesia for bronchoscopy. The primary outcome was subject comfort. Secondary outcomes included willingness to undergo a repeat procedure if necessary and level of sedation assessed clinically and by bispectral index (BIS) monitoring. Results There was no significant difference between subject comfort scores (difference −0.01, 95% CI −0.63–0.61 on a 10-point scale; p=0.97) or willingness to undergo a repeat procedure (97.7% versus 91.8%, 95% CI −4.8–15.5%; p=0.37). Deeper levels of sedation in the general anaesthesia cohort was confirmed with both clinical and BIS monitoring. There was no significant difference in diagnostic accuracy (conscious sedation 93.9%, 95% CI 80.4–98.3% versus general anaesthesia 86.5%, 95% CI 72.0–94.1%; p=0.43). There were more complications (29.6%, 95% CI 18.2–44.2% versus 6.1%, 95% CI 2.1–16.5%; p
Conscious sedation was noninferior to anaesthetist-controlled general anaesthesia for patient comfort during bronchoscopy in this randomised trial. Deeper sedation with general anaesthesia did not improve comfort and had increased complications. https://bit.ly/3sCDfEy
