Summary
This study tests whether wearing an eye mask and earplugs during a fiberoptic bronchoscopy (a tube inserted into the lungs) can lower anxiety and stress. 120 first-time patients will either get the sensory isolation or standard care. Researchers will measure anxiety levels, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels before, during, and after the procedure.
