Abstract

PURPOSE: The role of Midazolam (a short-acting benzodiazepine), in the flexible bronchoscopy premedication is debated. Indeed, there is evidence that sedative medications increase the tolerability of the procedure; does not change diagnostic yield of the procedure and is associated with increased side effects especially in the elderly. Aim: to evaluate whether Midazolam premedication increases the patient-reported tolerability and the physician-reported feasibility of the fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
