Abstract

The objective of this research was to study the effectiveness and safety of proceduralist given sedation in pediatric flexible bronchoscopy. Flexible bronchoscopy was performed in all 267 patients. All patients received midazolam and/or ketamine. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) age of the studied population was 16 (18) months. The indication of bronchoscopy varied. The mean ± standard deviation (SD) dose of midazolam was 0.109 (0.03) mg/kg and that of ketamine was 1.17 (0.43) mg/kg. We observed minor side effects of procedural sedation. All patients underwent procedure successfully. Flexible bronchoscopy in children can be safely performed under sedation using a combination of midazolam and ketamine.
