Risk Factors for Adverse Circulatory and Respiratory Events in Patients Undergoing Esophageal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection Under Dexmedetomidine-Based Sedation
The research aims to identify risk factors associated with adverse circulatory and respiratory events during esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection under dexmedetomidine-based sedation.
Analyzed the impact of protein nutritional index (PNI) on complication rates during ESD procedures.
Focused on elderly patients undergoing sedation for esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection using dexmedetomidine.
Patients with lower protein nutritional index (PNI) had a higher likelihood of circulatory and respiratory complications.
Elderly patients were particularly at increased risk for such events during ESD.
Abstract
When performing ESD for ESCC under DEX-based sedation, special caution is needed for patients with lower PNI and the elderly, who are more likely to experience circulatory or respiratory complications.
