Study aim
-
Increasing sedation of patients in successful fibrotic bronchoscopy with minimal sedative medication and minimal respiratory and cardiac complications
-
Design
-
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 1-2 on 70 patients. Block randomization method was used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
A double-blind clinical trial study on 70 male and female patients who are candidates for fiberoptic bronchoscopy at Sina Hospital in Tehran. The patients are divided into intervention and control groups by block randomization method. Data analyst, outcome assessor, clinical caregiver and patients are not aware of the type of study drug.

-
Intervention groups
-
Intervention group: 1mg/kg of diphenhydramine isinfused intravenously 10 minutes before bronchoscopy.Then, the same volume of normal saline as the control group is infused until the end of bronchoscopy . Control group: they receive 1 µg/kg over 10 minutes, and then receive continuous intravenous infusion at a rate of 0.5 µg/kg/h until the end of bronchoscopy. .
-
Main outcome variables
-
The degree of sedation at the beginning and minutes 2, 5, 10 and 15 of bronchoscopy, the amount of propofol boluses in cases of insufficient sedation, the length of the procedure and side effects such as cardiac arrhythmia, hypoxemia, hemodynamic changes, nausea and vomiting and the duration of recovery are recorded.
