Abstract

BACKGROUND: Opioids are used to suppress cough during fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB). However, evidence regarding the optimal dose of remifentanil during FOB under ciprofol sedation is limited. This study aimed to investigate the effective concentration (EC) of remifentanil required to suppress bronchoscopy responses during FOB under ciprofol sedation in elderly patients.
