Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who require bronchoscopy for diagnostic or therapeutic reasons.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe respiratory or cardiac conditions, or those unable to cooperate with the procedure, may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effects of bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation on patients undergoing fiber-optic bronchoscopy for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Patients will be divided into four groups based on their oxygen levels and the type of ventilation they receive before, during, and after the procedure. Comprehensive assessments including medical history, physical examination, and imaging studies will be conducted to determine eligibility and monitor outcomes. The goal is to compare the benefits and drawbacks of non-invasive ventilation versus conventional oxygen therapy in these patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve patient outcomes and comfort during bronchoscopy procedures.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of non-invasive ventilation in bronchoscopy is being explored, this specific approach is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
