Article Synopsis
- A study compared patient comfort during bronchoscopy using conscious sedation versus general anaesthesia, finding no significant difference in comfort levels or willingness for repeat procedures between the two methods.
- There were deeper levels of sedation in the general anaesthesia group, which also experienced higher complication rates compared to those under conscious sedation.
- The results suggest that conscious sedation offers comparable patient comfort and diagnostic accuracy while being linked to fewer complications, indicating it may be a safer option for patients undergoing bronchoscopy.
