Determination of Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy Sedation Protocols in Turkey
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB), which is difficult to tolerate while awake, is recommended to be performed by the patient under sedation. The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes and behaviors of chest diseases specialists who do FOB in Turkey about sedation with a 30-question online questionnaire.

Detailed Description
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is the imaging of the tracheobronchial tree for diagnosis and treatment in lung diseases. The operation performed through the airway is difficult for the patient to tolerate. Therefore, it is recommended to perform the procedure under sedation. With this survey study, it was aimed to determine the sedation protocols preferred by pulmonologists who perform active fiberoptic bronchoscopy throughout Turkey during the procedure.
Thirty questions were determined for the questionnaire to be used as a data collection method by the researchers. The questions generally consist of three parts; In the first part, there are 8 questions containing the personal information of the doctors (age, gender, title, institution, etc.). In the second part, 13 questions were included in order to make a general assessment such as the sedative agents used by the doctors before and during the bronchoscopy procedure, and the satisfaction with the sedative method used. In the third part, 9 questions were given to determine the preferred follow-up methods during the procedure. The questions are designed to be presented to participants over the network using google forms.
