New technology for endoscopic sedation: computer-assisted personalized sedation

The level of sedation required for endoscopic procedures is moderate sedation, which was previously referred to as conscious sedation.This level of sedation allows the patient to maintain their airway independently and respond appropriately to physical stimulation or verbal commands.However, because sedation is a continuous process, it is difficult to predict the patient's response accurately, and the patient may reach a deeper level of sedation than intended.Therefore, various methods have been attempted recently to achieve an appropriate level of sedation.This paper aims to explore computer-assisted sedation systems.
