BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:276. [PMID: 37587423 PMCID: PMC10428560 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02241-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) can be performed in a wide range, from minimal sedation to general anesthesia. Advanced age increases perioperative risks related to anesthesia and is also associated with many pathological processes that further increase morbidity and mortality. The ideal sedation protocol for EBUS-TBNA has yet to be determined in geriatric patients. Deep sedation (DS) may increase the safety and performance of the procedure. There are limited studies evaluating the effectiveness and safety of EBUS-TBNA under DS in elderly patients. METHODS 280 patients who underwent EBUS-TBNA under DS were included in this retrospective study. 156 patients aged 65 years and over (Group 1) and 124 patients under 45 (Group 2) were compared. Demographic data, comorbidities, pulmonary function tests (PFTs), hemodynamic measurements, and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) before the procedure were evaluated. In addition, the duration of the EBUS-TBNA procedure, sedation agents and dosages, recovery time, and complications related to the procedure in the 24 h and applied medications and treatments were recorded. RESULTS There was no difference in body mass index, EBUS-TBNA procedure duration, and recovery time between geriatric and young patients(p > 0.05). The proportion of female patients, pre-anesthesia SpO2, and PFTs were found to be significantly lower in geriatric patients(p < 0.05). ASA classification, frequency of comorbidities, and initial mean arterial pressure were found to be significantly higher in the geriatric group(p < 0.05). The propofol-ketamine combination was the most preferred sedative in both groups. The dose of propofol used in the regimen in which propofol was administered alone was found to be lower in the elderly group (p < 0.05). The increase in the HR was significant in Group 2 in the T4 and T5 periods with respect to T1 when the differences were compared (p < 0.05). As a complication, the frequency of high blood pressure during the procedure was higher in the elderly group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The EBUS-TBNA procedure performed under DS was safe in elderly and young patients. Our study showed that the procedure and recovery times were similar in the elderly and young groups. The incidence of temporary high blood pressure during the procedure was higher in the elderly patients. The other complication rates during the procedure were similar in groups. Decreased propofol dose in the regimen using propofol alone has shown us that anesthetists are more sensitive to the administration of sedative agents in geriatric patients, taking into account comorbidities and drug interactions.

Abstract
Over the past decade, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has become an indispensable tool in the diagnostic armamentarium of the pulmonologist. As the expertise with EBUS-TBNA has evolved and several innovations have occurred, the indications for its use have expanded. However, several aspects of EBUS-TBNA are still not standardized. Hence, evidence-based guidelines are needed to optimize the diagnostic yield and safety of EBUS-TBNA. For this purpose, a working group of experts from India was constituted. A detailed and systematic search was performed to extract relevant literature pertaining to various aspects of EBUS-TBNA. The modified GRADE system was used for evaluating the level of evidence and assigning the strength of recommendations. The final recommendations were framed with the consensus of the working group after several rounds of online discussions and a two-day in-person meeting. These guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations encompassing indications of EBUS-TBNA, pre-procedure evaluation, sedation and anesthesia, technical and procedural aspects, sample processing, EBUS-TBNA in special situations, and training for EBUS-TBNA.

A randomised study of comfort during bronchoscopy comparing conscious sedation and anaesthetist-controlled general anaesthesia, including the utility of bispectral index monitoring. ERJ Open Res 2021; 7:00895-2020. [PMID: 34084784 PMCID: PMC8165373 DOI: 10.1183/23120541.00895-2020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Accepted: 02/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The difference in patient comfort with conscious sedation versus general anaesthesia for bronchoscopy has not been adequately assessed in a randomised trial. This study aimed to assess if patient comfort during bronchoscopy with conscious sedation is noninferior to general anaesthesia. Methods 96 subjects were randomised to receive conscious sedation or general anaesthesia for bronchoscopy. The primary outcome was subject comfort. Secondary outcomes included willingness to undergo a repeat procedure if necessary and level of sedation assessed clinically and by bispectral index (BIS) monitoring. Results There was no significant difference between subject comfort scores (difference -0.01, 95% CI -0.63-0.61 on a 10-point scale; p=0.97) or willingness to undergo a repeat procedure (97.7% versus 91.8%, 95% CI -4.8-15.5%; p=0.37). Deeper levels of sedation in the general anaesthesia cohort was confirmed with both clinical and BIS monitoring. There was no significant difference in diagnostic accuracy (conscious sedation 93.9%, 95% CI 80.4-98.3% versus general anaesthesia 86.5%, 95% CI 72.0-94.1%; p=0.43). There were more complications (29.6%, 95% CI 18.2-44.2% versus 6.1%, 95% CI 2.1-16.5%; p<0.01) in the general anaesthesia group. There was no relationship between high BIS scores and subject discomfort. BIS levels <40 during a procedure were associated with increased complications. Conclusion Conscious sedation is not inferior to general anaesthesia in providing patient comfort during bronchoscopy, despite lighter sedation, and is associated with fewer complications and comparable diagnostic accuracy. BIS monitoring may have a role in preventing complications associated with deeper sedation.

ERJ Open Res 2021; 6:00064-2020. [PMID: 33693047 PMCID: PMC7927785 DOI: 10.1183/23120541.00064-2020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 09/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and aim Appropriate sedation is important to the success of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). Dexmedetomidine is a sedative agent that operates via the α2 adrenergic agonist, which provides sleep-like sedation with little respiratory suppression. This study compared the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine sedation with propofol in cases of EBUS-TBNA. Methods Patients requiring EBUS-TBNA were randomly assigned dexmedetomidine sedation (D, n=25) or propofol sedation (P, n=25). Vital signs, diagnostic yield and the bispectral index (BIS) were recorded throughout the bronchoscopic procedure and recovery period. The tolerance and cooperation of the patients were evaluated using questionnaires. Measurements and results The lowest mean arterial blood pressure in group D (79.2±9.9 versus 72.5±12.9 mmHg, p=0.049) exceeded that in group P, the lowest heart rate was lower (60.9±10.2 versus 71.4±11.8 beats·min−1, p=0.006) and the mean BIS during sedation was significantly higher (84.1±8.3 versus 73.6±5.7, p<0.001). Patients in group D were more likely to report perceiving procedure-related symptoms and express an unwillingness to undergo the bronchoscopy again, if indicated (41.1 versus 83.3%, p=0.007). One subject in group D aborted EBUS-TBNA due to intolerance. Many of the variables in the two groups were similar, including the proportion of hypoxaemic events, recovery times, patient cooperation and diagnostic yield. Conclusions The effects of dexmedetomidine on haemodynamics were in line with its pharmacodynamic features. Patients who received dexmedetomidine were more likely than those who received propofol to perceive the procedures. Overall, dexmedetomidine did not prove inferior to propofol sedation in terms of patient cooperation or diagnostic yield. Compared to propofol sedation for EBUS-TBNA, dexmedetomidine provided patients lighter sedation with lower heart rates and less decrease in blood pressure. The recovery times, hypoxaemia, cooperation and diagnostic yield in the two groups were similar.https://bit.ly/33qgEj3
