[Bronchoscopy in ventilated patients: full narcosis or local anesthesia?].
In a prospective, randomised trial bronchoscopy was performed either in local anaesthesia (LA) or general anaesthesia, each on 15 ventilated patients. LA was carried out with oxybuprocain-hydrochloride 1% in repeated doses injected into the trachea and main bronchi, general anaesthesia with midazolam, piritramide and vecuronium bromide. Measurements were performed before, 3 minutes after induction of anaesthesia, immediately after bronchoscopy and 15 and 60 minutes after bronchoscopy. There was no effect on cardiocirculatory function during bronchoscopy in both groups, but we found a decrease in paO2 from 97 to 80 mmHg (median) after application of LA. Subsequent bronchoscopy did not significantly influence paO2. The present study shows that in ventilation patients undergoing fibreoptic bronchoscopy, the application of LA will usually result in a decline of arterial oxygen tension. This procedure should therefore only be performed if general anaesthesia is undesirable, as e.g. in patients being weaned from ventilation.
