Brief Summary:
This protocol hopes to determine whether the use of dexmedetomidine-ketamine can reduce the use of standard of care fentanyl-midazolam sedation during bronchoscopy. This may result in less respiratory depression while providing better compliance with the procedure.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Sedation Drug: Dexmedetomidine load Drug: Ketamine load Drug: Midazolam load Drug: Fentanyl load Drug: Dexmedetomidine maintenance Drug: Ketamine maintenance Drug: Midazolam demand Drug: Fentanyl demand Drug: Benadryl demand Phase 4

Detailed Description:
All patients enrolled in the study will be undergoing bronchoscopy, which is typically performed with sedation. All procedural sedation carries some risk. Several features of the study may lower the risk of sedation relative to that of conventional sedation. An anesthesiologist will be present throughout the procedure. Continuous monitoring of respiration with RIP will be employed. Administration of sedation will be via a volumetric syringe pump. Benefits specific to dexmedetomidine-ketamine include the lack of respiratory depression and greater hemodynamic stability.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Decreased Minute Ventilation [ Time Frame: During the bronchoscopy procedure only, 58.5 minutes average ]
    An initial baseline minute ventilation estimate was obtained via calibrated respiratory impedance plethysmography bands. Subsequent minute ventilation was normalized to this value. Values exceeding 100% were excluded from analysis, as these typically reflected a period of hyperpnea subsequent to relief of airway obstruction by chin lift or jaw thrust.

  2. Total Fentanyl [ Time Frame: During the bronchoscopy procedure only, 58.5 minutes average ]
    Total fentanyl dose delivered during the procedure

  3. Total Midazolam [ Time Frame: Duration of procedure ]
    Total midazolam delivered during procedure


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Desaturation (Cumulative) [ Time Frame: During the bronchoscopy procedure only, 58.5 minutes average ]
    Cumulative time below saturation of 90% - the total number of seconds that the pulse oximeter reported a saturation below 90%

  2. Desaturation (Longest) [ Time Frame: During the bronchoscopy procedure only, 58.5 minutes average ]
    Longest time below saturation of 90% (the number of seconds elapsed between the start of a period in which the pulse oximeter saturation fell below 90% and the return above 90%)

  3. Conversion to General Anesthesia [ Time Frame: During the bronchoscopy procedure only, 58.5 minutes average ]
    Patients in which the procedure could not be completed without conversion to general anesthesia

  4. Patient Satisfaction [ Time Frame: After the bronchoscopy procedure only ]
    Satisfaction rated by 10 point Likert scale (0 = Totally dissatisfied, 10 = Totally satisfied)

  5. Endoscopist Satisfaction [ Time Frame: After the bronchoscopy procedure only ]
    Satisfaction rated by 10 point Likert scale (0 = Totally dissatisfied, 10 = Totally satisfied)
