May support deep sedation consideration for ablation comfort; observational data leaves open need for RCTs on pain control and safety.

Does deep sedation during catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias provide adequate patient satisfaction and pain control?
Deep sedation during catheter ablation is associated with high patient satisfaction (83%), though a small proportion of patients still experience pain or adverse effects.
Münkler et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Cardiac arrhythmias (n=117). Deep sedation (propofol/midazolam with or without piritramide and ketamine/midazolam) was evaluated on Patient satisfaction with periprocedural sedation. Deep sedation during catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias yielded high patient satisfaction, with 83% of patients judging the sedation as good or very good.
