Emerging strategies in outpatient endoscopy sedation management: Recent trends and developments
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: . Outpatient endoscopy has become vital in modern healthcare, providing efficient diagnostic and therapeutic interventions with minimal patient disruption. This study highlighted the key developments in sedation management, focusing on risk stratification and procedural settings to enhance safety. The findings demonstrate that a rigorous triage tool effectively reduces adverse events related to sedation and reversals. By identifying patients at higher risk, this tool helps mitigate complications during procedures. Importantly, appropriate risk stratification allows complex procedures to be performed under conscious sedation, significantly improving patient outcomes and optimizing resource allocation, particularly in constrained healthcare environments.
