Conscious sedation is usually required during flexible bronchoscopy. Sedation should be done without causing respiratory depression or loss of consciousness. The present study was designed to evaluate the advantage of pregabalin pre-medication on reducing sedatives and respiratory depression for patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy with dexmedetomidine and midazolam.
Seventy patients undergoing elective flexible bronchoscopy were randomly divided into two equal groups, 35 patients each. All patients received premedication one hour before the procedure. PG group received 150 mg pregabalin and C group received placebo. All patients sedated to achieve optimum working conditions. Intra-operative respiratory rate and post procedure patients' and pulmonologists' satisfaction were compared in both groups.
