  • Title: Anesthesia for gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures.
    Author: Goulson DT, Fragneto RY.
    Journal: Anesthesiol Clin; 2009 Mar; 27(1):71-85. PubMed ID: 19361769.
    Abstract:
    Traditionally, sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures was provided by the gastroenterologist. Increasingly, however, complex procedures are being performed on seriously ill patients. As a result, anesthesiologists now are providing anesthesia and sedation in the gastrointestinal endoscopy suite for many of these patients. This article reviews the challenges encountered in this environment and anesthetic techniques that can be used successfully for these procedures.
