An Observational Prospective Study on the Safety and Feasibility of Deep Sedation Under Proceduralist Direction With Pre-emptive Endotracheal Intubation for Advanced Bronchoscopy Procedures

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Bronchoscopy is crucial for diagnosing and treating respiratory diseases and is recommended under sedation. Deep sedation improves patient comfort and procedural efficiency, especially in complex cases, by reducing movement and coughing. However, it carries risks of respiratory depression and airway obstruction, potentially requiring premature termination or urgent intubation. Determining the optimal timing for intubation can be challenging despite proper monitoring. To enhance safety, the investigator has performed bronchoscopy under deep sedation with preemptive intubation for years, sharing this experience with other hospitals. This study aims to evaluate its safety and feasibility through a multicenter prospective observational approach.
