Bronchoscopist-Directed Continuous Flow Propofol Based Analgosedation during Flexible Interventional Bronchoscopy and EBUS.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Sedation techniques in interventional flexible bronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial-needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) are inconsistent and the evidence for required general anesthesia under full anesthesiologic involvement is scarce. Moreover, we faced the challenge of providing bronchoscopic care with limited personnel. Hence, we retrospectively identified 513 patients that underwent flexible interventional bronchoscopy and/or EBUS-TBNA out of our institution between January 2020 and August 2022 to evaluate our deep analgosedation approach based on pethidine/meperidine bolus plus continuous flow adjusted propofol, the bronchoscopist-directed continuous flow propofol based analgosedation (BDcfP) in a two-personnel setting. Consequently, 502 out of 513 patients received BDcfP for analgosedation. We identified cardiovascular comorbidities, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and arterial hypertension as risk factors for periprocedural hypotension. Propofol flow rate did not correlate with hypotension. Theodrenaline and cafedrine might be used to treat periprocedural hypotension. Moreover, midazolam might be used to support the sedative effect. In conclusion, BDcfP is a safe and feasible sedative approach during interventional flexible bronchoscopy and EBUS-TBNA. In general, after the implementation of safety measures, EBUS-TBNA and interventional flexible bronchoscopy via BDcfP might safely be performed even with limited personnel.
