First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding dexmedetomidine to propofol during rigid bronchoscopy (a procedure to examine the airways) leads to more stable heart rates and fewer complications. Fifty adults were randomly assigned to receive either propofol alone or propofol plus dexmedetomidine. The goal was to see if the combination could improve safety and recovery.
