A comparison of propofol–midazolam and midazolam alone for sedation in endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract

Both sedation-types for performing EBUS-TBNA showed similar diagnostic value and complication rates in our study. Propofol with midazolam application requires with an accompanying anaesthesiologist, therefore, it increases cost. EBUS-TBNA procedures had been performed in safe with no decrease in diagnostic yield under moderate sedation.
