dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE: Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) is an often-employed invasive method in diagnosing, staging, and treating lung diseases. Conventional sedative agents facilitate this process. Dexmedetomidine (DM) has low side effects and is easy to administer for trans-mucosal absorption. This study aimed to investigate trans-mucosal DM used with local anesthesia during the FOB procedure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Fifty-nine cases were retrospectively analyzed who had undergone diagnostic flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in our clinic between September 2016 and September 2019. The two methods (Group 1: Sublingual, and Group 2: Intranasal) employed during the FOB procedure for the local anesthesia were compared. RESULTS: Fifty-nine patients were included in the study, wherein forty-six were males (77.9%), and thirteen (22.1%) females had a mean age of 58.02 +/- 8.7 years (range: 39-72 years). Thirty-three patients were in Group 1 (Sublingual) and 26 in Group 2 (Intranasal). No significant differences were there between groups regarding age, gender, body mass index, or ASA physical status. Modified Aldrete Score >9 was significant to reach with time as a correlation between operator and patient satisfaction. Sedation scores for groups at 1st, 9th, 12th, and 15th min were similar. Excessive coughing was observed in two (7.7%) patients of Group 2 but in none of Group 1 (p=0.105). Patients in both groups had no complaints of swallowing, excessive body movement, or lower oxygen saturation during examination (p>0.05). There were no complications (hypotension, bradycardia, respiratory depression, allergy, permanent amnesia, nausea, and vomiting) observed in patients. CONCLUSIONS: Our study results revealed that easily administered trans-mucosal dexmedetomidine sedation is safely applied during flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy for adequate sedation, high satisfaction, and low complication rates with no significant difference in sublingual or intranasal administration.en_US
