Abstract
Sedation techniques in interventional flexible bronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial-needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) are inconsistent and the evidence for required general anesthesia under full anesthesiologic involvement is scarce. Moreover, we faced the challenge of providing bronchoscopic care with limited personnel. Hence, we retrospectively identified 513 patients that underwent flexible interventional bronchoscopy and/or EBUS-TBNA out of our institution between January 2020 and August 2022 to evaluate our deep analgosedation approach based on pethidine/meperidine bolus plus continuous flow adjusted propofol, the bronchoscopist-directed continuous flow propofol based analgosedation (BDcfP) in a two-personnel setting. Consequently, 502 out of 513 patients received BDcfP for analgosedation. We identified cardiovascular comorbidities, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and arterial hypertension as risk factors for periprocedural hypotension. Propofol flow rate did not correlate with hypotension. Theodrenaline and cafedrine might be used to treat periprocedural hypotension. Moreover, midazolam might be used to support the sedative effect. In conclusion, BDcfP is a safe and feasible sedative approach during interventional flexible bronchoscopy and EBUS-TBNA. In general, after the implementation of safety measures, EBUS-TBNA and interventional flexible bronchoscopy via BDcfP might safely be performed even with limited personnel.
