Upper Airways and Lung Mechanics During Endoscopy
摘要
Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy involves multiple factors affecting upper airway and lung mechanics. Understanding the physiological effects of sedation on the upper airway is essential for mitigating complications and achieving successful procedural outcomes. Effective management of sedation, preoxygenation, supplemental oxygen, and monitoring techniques, along with appropriate airway maneuvers and patient positioning, are crucial to ensure patient safety.
