Robotic-assisted Bronchoscopy Under Moderate Sedation With Propofol

Robotic-assisted Bronchoscopy Under Moderate Sedation With Propofol: A Single-center Pilot Study.

Sponsor

University of Zurich

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Aug 14, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Bronchoscopy Propofol Lung Lesions Robotic Assisted Bronchoscopy Bronchoscopy Biopsy

Summary

In this study, the investigators want to find out whether robot-assisted bronchoscopy also works with moderate sedation (Propofol), as is already used in standard bronchoscopies. The study is being conducted as a pilot study. This means that it is an initial test run for a scientific investigation. The investigators are testing on a small scale whether the intervention works as predicted before a larger study is conducted.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Interventions

DEVICERobotic-assisted bronchoscopy under propofol

In this study, patients will undergo a robotic-assisted bronchoscopy under moderate sedation with propofol. While the use of propofol as a sedative is common for manual bronchoscopies, robotic-assisted bronchoscopy is only permitted under general anesthesia. In the study intervention, the investigators want to test the feasibility of the combination of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy under propofol.
