Summary

This study looked at whether adding a low dose of esketamine to the usual sedative propofol helps people recover faster after a bronchoscopy, a procedure to examine the lungs. 246 adults scheduled for the procedure were randomly assigned to receive either propofol alone or propofol plus esketamine. The main goal was to see if more patients could be ready to leave the hospital within 30 minutes after the procedure.
