  • Title: Conscious sedation for endoscopic procedures.
    Author: Scheffer GJ.
    Journal: Neth J Med; 2004 Jan; 62(1):1-3. PubMed ID: 15061225.
    Abstract:
    Despite the fact that gastrointestinal endoscopy is a safe procedure, significant complications can occur. According to the literature most complications are related to sedation and compared with perioperative mortality under general anaesthesia, the mortality for this procedure appears high. Strict implementation of existing guidelines is warranted.
