Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This randomized controlled pilot clinical trial will enroll patients undergoing dynamic flexible bronchoscopy will be randomized to receive one of the two anesthetic combinations described above. The study will determine if there is a difference when considering patient and physician and satisfaction when performing DFB. Also, safety and efficacy of the two pharmacological combinations (fentanyl + midazolam and remifentanil + ketamine) used will be evaluated.

Study Groups

Remifentanil and Ketamine Group

Patients in Group 1 will receive remifentanil and ketamine. Remifentanil will be administered initially with a 1mcg/kg IV bolus followed by a continuous infusion, 0.1 to 0.15 mcg/kg/min IV (using ideal body weight) with titration to a maximum dose of 0.2 to 0.4 mcg/kg/min IV. Total dose of ketamine will be titrated from 10 to 40 mg, based on clinical judgment, and it will be recorded. Ketamine will be delivered using 2mL syringes, previously filled with ketamine in normal saline at a 10mg/mL concentration.

Fentanyl and Midazolam

The patients in this group will receive fentanyl doses that range between 0.5 to 2 mcg/kg (25 - 50 mcg) IV bolus in combination with midazolam 1-5 mg bolus over at least 2 minutes as determined by attending anesthesiologist (not to exceed 2.5 mg / 2 min per package insert). Total dosing of fentanyl and midazolam may be titrated, based on clinical judgment, and it will be recorded. Maintenance, additional midazolam doses of 25% of total initial dose required to achieved desired sedation may be administered IV if additional sedation is considered necessary
