Summary
This study looked at whether adding a low dose of esketamine to the usual sedative propofol helps people recover and leave the hospital sooner after a bronchoscopy (a scope procedure to examine the lungs). The trial involved 246 adults scheduled for outpatient bronchoscopy. Researchers measured how many patients were ready to go home within 30 minutes after the procedure.
