Minimizing Complications: Sedation and Monitoring

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2007
Serious adverse events are fortunately quite rare for procedural sedation. Current physiologic monitoring recommendations are therefore either based on "softer" outcomes, such as transient hypoxemia, or on expert opinion. Pulse oximetry and supplemental oxygen are recommended for the reduction of hypoxemia.

Triage, Sedation and Monitoring

2016
Endoscopic emergencies provide a unique experience for the endoscopy team in regard to optimal management and interventions. These patients are often critically ill and may be at higher risk for cardiopulmonary adverse events. Hence, the triage of patients, optimal management regarding sedation issues, tools for cardiopulmonary monitoring, and the need

Monitoring, Sedation, and Recovery

2006
Continuous patient assessment by a second trained individual is crucial and allows the endoscopist to concentrate on the examination. Level of consciousness, responsiveness, and pain should all be watched closely. Most endoscopy units use a special form on which pulse, blood pressure, medications, and other measures can be recorded.

Sedation and Monitoring in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2016
It is sobering to realize that a critical component to virtually every endoscopic procedure, namely sedation and analgesia, has remained until a few years ago a poorly studied entity that was rife with historical uncontrolled data and extrapolations. Over the past 5 years, the vista of this topic has tremendously expanded to provide practitioners with ...

Sedation and Monitoring for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1994
Delivery of safe but effective sedation can be a challenge for the endoscopist. Complications include respiratory depression, aspiration and cardiac arrhythmias, and the cardiopulmonary mortality of endoscopy may exceed that of general anesthesia.

Sedation and Monitoring in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1993
The use of sedation and monitoring in gastrointestinal endoscopy is still open for debate. In The Netherlands, generally, no systemic sedation is used for relatively simple procedures like diagnostic upper GI endoscopy and sigmoidoscopy. In most centres, for more time-consuming and burdensome endoscopies like colonoscopy, ERCP, sclerotherapy and ...

Efficiency issues in sedation and monitoring

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2004
Sedation and monitoring are key elements of the endoscopy process. There continues to be intense study of better methods for sedation and monitoring to improve the endoscopic "experience" for both patient and physicians alike. Our current practices will likely change in the future with technologic advances (monitoring) and expansion of our ...

Sedation and Monitoring

2008
Sedation is often required for patients undergoing minor procedures. The increased availability of newer medications with short duration, rapid onset, and minimal side effects has led patients and physicians to expect comfort, amnesia, and good “operating” conditions for a multitude of minimally invasive procedures.

39. Monitoring, Sedation, and Recovery

2012
Sedation is an integral part of upper and lower endoscopy and serves to alleviate patient discomfort, reduce risk of injury to the patient, and facilitate optimal examination during the procedure. The majority of patients undergoing endoscopy have sedation provided by the endoscopist.

Toward Solving the Sedation-Assessment Conundrum: Bispectral Index Monitoring and Sedation Interruption

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2005
The sedation-assessment conundrum is defined by two diametrically opposed goals: to maintain an appropriate level of sedation, and to obtain a comprehensive neurologic examination that most accurately reflects the patient's neurologic status. A case presentation leads to a discussion of over-sedation and under-sedation issues that impact the care of ...
