Aims Describe risk-related factors of desaturation during EUS sedation taken into account the clinical and facial characteristics.
Methods Prospective analysis of upper echoendoscopies sedated with propofol administered for expert endoscopic team, between December 2017-July 2019. The variables included in the table1 and adverse effects related to sedation were analysed as SBP < 70/ > 230, HR < 40x ´/ > 120x´, SPO2 < 90%, bronchospasm and laryngospasm.
Results 324 patients age: 65 ± 13 years, 53% men. The characteristics of population are described in Table 1. 49 patients (17%) presented adverse events: desaturation < 90% (11.5%), Severe Adverse Events (6,2%): Sat02 < 70% (1,9%), hypotension (0,6%), tachycardia (0,3%), hypertension (0,6%), laryngospasm (3,4%). 3 patients need ventilatory support (Ambu). None intubation or cardiac arrest.
Patients with age > 65 (18,8% p = 0.017), sleep apnea (28,6% p = 0.000), mandibular subluxation (31.6%, p = 0.005), short neck (29.4% p = 0, 016) and mandibula retrognatism (32,4% p = 0.002) had a higher risk of adverse effects in univariate analysis. Of these, age > 65 (OR 2.13; 95%CI 1.06–4.27), sleep apnea (OR 2.68; 95%CI 1.34–5.36), short necks (OR = 2.43; 95%CI: 1.01–5.87;
p = 0.048) and mandibular subluxation (OR: 2.73; 95% CI 1.18–6.32) were independent predictors of adverse effects related to sedation.
Conclusions Difficult airway parameters, imply a high risk of complications in sedation for upper echoendoscopy. Consequently, measures to prevent hypoventilation in patients with these characteristics must be considered.
