Introduction and aims.
Balanced propofol sedation (BPS) administered by gastroenterologists has gained popularity in endoscopic procedures.
Few studies exist about the safety of this approach during endosonography with fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA).
We assessed the safety of BPS in EUS-FNA.
Materials and methods.
112 consecutive patients, referred to our unit to perform EUS-FNA, from February 2008 to December 2009, were sedated with BPS.
A second gastroenterologist administered the drugs and monitorized the patient.
Results.
All the 112 patients (62 males, mean age 58.35) completed the examination.
The mean dose of midazolam and propofol was, respectively, of 2.1 mg (range 1–4 mg) and 350 mg (range 180–400).
All patients received oxygen with a mean flux of 4 liter/minute (range 2–6 liters/minute).
The mean recovery time after procedure was 25 minutes (range 18–45 minutes).
No major complications related to sedation were registered during all procedures.
The oxygen saturation of all patients never reduced to less than 85%.
Blood systolic pressure during and after the procedure never reduced to less than 100 mmHg.
Conclusions.
In our experience BPS administered by non-anaesthesiologists provided safe and successful sedation in patients undergoing EUS-FNA.
