Key result
Non-anaesthesiologist administered propofol sedation for atrial fibrillation ablation resulted in no serious sedation-related complications, though 13.6% experienced persistent hypotension.

Joseph de Bono (2011) conducted an editorial in Atrial fibrillation (n=1,000). Non-anaesthesiologist administered propofol sedation (NAAP) was evaluated on Serious sedation-related complications. Non-anaesthesiologist administered propofol sedation for atrial fibrillation ablation resulted in no serious sedation-related complications, though 13.6% experienced persistent hypotension.
