This randomized, double-blind, multicenter study evaluated the use of fospropofol in patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy. METHODS: Patients >or= 18 years of age were randomized (2:3) to receive fospropofol, 2 mg/kg or 6.5 mg/kg, after pretreatment with fentanyl, 50 microg. Supplemental doses of each were given per protocol. The primary end point was sedation success, which was defined as follows: three consecutive Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation scores of
