Summary

Therapeutic bronchoscopy is a common procedure to treat respiratory diseases. The procedure includes stent implantation, bronchus dilation, electronic incision, laser therapy, and so on. Most of these procedures are painful and require general anesthesia. Conventionally, the general anesthesia for therapeutic bronchoscopy was performed using laryngeal mask. But in the previous experiences, the investigators found that sedation with dexmedetomidine and remifentanil was as effect as laryngeal mask anesthesia. The present study was performed to compare the two approach for sedation or anesthesia in therapeutic bronchoscopy.

Conditions

• Bronchoscopy
• Sedation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Dexmedetomidine	Dexmedetomidine was used as a sedation agent with less side effect on respiratory system.
DRUG	Remifentanil	Remifentanil was used to prevent cough induced by bronchoscopy.
DEVICE	Laryngeal mask	Laryngeal mask was used to ensure respiration function during general anesthesia.
