Does a deep sedation protocol provide safe and effective sedation in patients undergoing pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation?
A deep sedation protocol is a safe and feasible alternative to general anesthesia during pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Grimaldi et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (n=29). Deep sedation protocol was evaluated on Sedation efficacy (RASS score -1 to -5). A deep sedation protocol during pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation was safe and effective, achieving a RASS score of -1 to -5 in 93% of patients with no procedural complications.
