Description
This lecture provides an in-depth exploration of anesthesia considerations for GI endoscopy procedures, focusing on safe and effective sedation practices. Participants will review the types of GI endoscopic procedures, anesthetic options, preoperative assessment, and intraoperative monitoring standards. Emphasis will be placed on airway management, risk stratification, and procedural-specific anesthesia for EGD and colonoscopy. Real-world case studies will highlight challenges in special populations and discuss malpractice claims and risk management strategies. Attendees will leave with evidence-based insights to enhance patient safety, comfort, and outcomes during GI endoscopic sedation.
