Summary

Alfentanil (Alf) is used in combination with Propofol (Pro) in fiber-bronchoscopy and in many other conscious sedation procedures. Alf and Pro have the characteristic of rapid anesthetic onset and quick recovery, synergic sedative effect and unwanted side effects too. However, the amount of Alf needed in combination with Pro for induction and the timing of administration was no standardized. The investigators designed this study to evaluate the optimal regimen, dose and timing of Alf in Target-Controlled infusion (TCI) of Pro for flexible bronchoscopy sedation, and also to evaluate the influence of variable regimen of Alf and Pro on hypoxemia, hypotension, cough severity, and Pro injection related pain.
