Key result
This review outlines current analgosedation approaches in the electrophysiology laboratory, ranging from intravenous sedation to general anesthesia, tailored to the specific procedure performed.
Why the study?
Increasingly complex electrophysiology procedures, including advanced radiofrequency catheter ablations, have made safe and effective analgetic and sedation approaches imperative.
This review summarizes current analgosedation techniques, ranging from intravenous sedation to general anesthesia, for various procedures in the electrophysiology laboratory.
Analgosedation in complex EP procedures requires tailored protocols; review leaves open optimal strategies pending prospective data.
Clinical electrophysiology (EP) had undergone tremendous technological development in the last years. Along with more and more complex EP procedures, including advanced radiofrequency catheter ablations, the need for a safe and effective analgetic and sedation approach become imperative. Sedation in the EP laboratory range from intravenous sedation techniques to general anesthesia. In our review, we discuss current analgosedation approaches in the EP lab, with particular emphasis on the type of procedure performed.
