Dexmedetomidine for Sedation of Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration

Summary

Preventing hypoxemia is one of the major goal of studies for bronchoscopic sedation. Dexmedetomidine is a sedative agents via α2 adrenergic agonist, with little respiratory suppression. In the preset study, we evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Dexmedetomidine in the specific bronchoscopic procedure, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration.
