Why the study?
Does acute hypercapnia affect cognitive function in patients undergoing bronchoscope intervention?
Does acute hypercapnia affect cognitive function in patients undergoing bronchoscope intervention?
Acute hypercapnia up to 100 mmHg during bronchoscopic intervention does not appear to adversely affect cognitive function and may even augment cognitive activity.
Acute hypercapnia up to 100 mmHg may not impair cognition in bronchoscopy; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Mild and moderate hypercapnia augmented cognitive activity with the help of MMSE tests and MoCA tests, whereby the latent reasons were not sure. As suggested by this study, hypercapnia up to 100 mmHg during BI was less likely to affect cognitive function adversely.
