Endoscopy-related autonomic shifts may raise cardiac event risk; hypothesis-generating for scopolamine butylbromide premedication but needs randomized trials.
Does premedication with scopolamine butylbromide alter autonomic nervous activity during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy?
Gastrointestinal endoscopy induces autonomic nervous abnormalities that may contribute to cardiac events, which can be modulated by scopolamine butylbromide premedication.
Saijyo et al. (1998) studied this question.
