  • Title: The pre- and postprocedure assessment of patients undergoing sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy.
    Author: Mitty RD, Wild DM.
    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2008 Oct; 18(4):627-40, vii. PubMed ID: 18922403.
    Abstract:
    A thorough and efficient pre-procedure evaluation of the patient's readiness to undergo sedation for endoscopy is essential. This evaluation will allow the formulation of an appropriate sedation plan for the patient, resulting in a safe and effective examination. The post procedure assessment of the patient confirms readiness for discharge and allows for appropriate patient education and follow-up planning.
