Safety and outcomes of bronchoscopic lung volume reduction with endobronchial valves under moderate sedation
BLVR under MS is demonstrated to be safe and feasible, with a lower rate of complications compared to GA. These findings suggest that MS may be a preferred sedation method for BLVR, though further research is warranted to confirm these results and explore the long-term outcomes and cost implications.
