Popis: Background: Anticholinergic administration prior to flexible bronchoscopy has been investigated, but studies have not yielded consistent results. Methods: Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive nebulized 4 ml ipratropium bromide (1 mg, n = 125) or placebo (n = 125) for 15 minutes as premedication, 20 to 40 minutes before bronchoscopy.
