Oxygen desaturation following sedation for regional analgesia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Moderate to severe arterial oxygen desaturation (SaO2 75-88%) occurred in three of four patients who were given sedation during regional conduction block without the administration of oxygen. No desaturation occurred in six patients given oxygen 2 litre min-1 via a nasal catheter during similar procedures. It is concluded that patients undergoing regional conduction block with concurrent sedation should receive additional oxygen routinely unless a pulse oximeter is available for monitoring.

Introduction: Hypoxemia can occur during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with or without pharmacological sedation. Pulse oximetry saturation (SpO2) levels were assessed in patients attending for routine unsedated diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to identify factors associated with oxygen desaturation. Methods: A total of 300 patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy w...
