The role of codeine phosphate premedication in fibre-optic bronchoscopy under insufficient local anaesthesia and midazolam sedation.
Midazolam is widely used as a sedative agent to produce amnesia in patients undergoing fibre-optic bronchoscopy. However, if a patient does not receive sufficient local anaesthesia, continuous severe cough and physical movement may interrupt the procedure and reduce its safety. We therefore examined whether codeine phosphate is a useful premedication for bronchoscopy. The study design was a ran...
متن کاملBuccal midazolam for pediatric convulsive seizures: efficacy, safety, and patient acceptability
Prolonged seizures and status epilepticus are a common acute neurological presentation in pediatric practice. As a result, there is a need for effective and safe medications that can be delivered to convulsing children to effect rapid seizure termination both in hospital and community settings. The challenges of achieving intravenous access, particularly in young children, mandate alternative r...
متن کاملIntravenous Dexmedetomidine Provides Superior Patient Comfort and Tolerance Compared to Intravenous Midazolam in Patients Undergoing Flexible Bronchoscopy
Dexmedetomidine, an α2 agonist, has demonstrated its effectiveness as a sedative during awake intubation, but its utility in fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) is not clear. We evaluated the effects of midazolam and dexmedetomidine on patient's response to FOB. The patients received either midazolam, 0.02 mg/kg (group M, n=27), or dexmedetomidine, 1 µg/kg (group D, n=27). A composite score of five d...
متن کاملDiagnostic yield of biopsies via fibre-optic bronchoscopy.
BACKGROUND Priority of all bronchoscopies has been diagnostic yield and various techniques have been introduced to improve it. Transbronchial biopsy (TBB) and transbronchial aspirates (TBA) also play an important role in improving diagnostic yield. The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic yield of biopsies via fibre optic bronchoscopy (FOB) in 108 cases in which it was indicated. ...
متن کاملFlexible Fibre-Optic Bronchoscopy in the Intensive- Care Unit
Flexible fibre-optic bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage have become important diagnostic tools for the evaluation and often for the treatment of infants and children with serious lung and airway problems causing respiratory insufficiency or failure. These patients are cared for in the paediatric or neonatal intensive-care units, and they usually require endotracheal intubation (or tracheos...
