Patient Monitoring and Associated Devices during Endoscopic Sedation

Sedation Monitoring and Management during Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy

Percutaneous endoscopic laser discectomy (PELD) is a painful intervention that requires deep sedation and analgesia. However, sedation should be light at some point because cooperation by the patient during the procedure is required for successful surgical treatment. Light sedation poses a problem for endotracheal intubation, while patients placed in the prone position during percutaneous endos...

Endoscopic Sedation: Risk Assessment and Monitoring

Sedation for endoscopic procedures is done to increase patient comfort and endoscopic performance. Drugs used for sedation suppress respiratory and cardiovascular function, and while the degree of suppression may vary, it may be fatal in certain patients. The aim of this article is to provide an overview and brief summary of presedation risk assessment and monitoring during and after sedation i...

Patient-controlled sedation for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancereatography

What sedation to use during endoscopic procedure.

Many endoscopists sometimes prefer to perform endoscopies without anaesthetic support, using only benzodiazepines. Endogenous opioid peptides are believed to play an important role in the modulation of pain within the endogenous analgesic system. A group of 40 patients undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiography and Pancreatography (ERCP) was recruited. Patients ...

A target-controlled infusion system with bispectral index monitoring of propofol sedation during endoscopic submucosal dissection

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Propofol administration via a target-controlled infusion system with bispectral index monitoring (BIS/TCI system) is expected to prevent complications from sedation during complex and long endoscopic procedures. We evaluated the feasibility of setting the BIS/TCI system for non-anesthesiologist administration of propofol (NAAP) during endoscopic submucosal dissection (...
