| Summary: | Background: When administered by a trained professional, the safety and efficacy of propofol in advanced endoscopy is well described. While use of propofol requires advanced airway training, it is unclear how frequently airway modifications are employed during endoscopy and which patients may be most susceptible. Objectives: Define the frequency of airway modifications (AMs) and clinical characteristics of patients who require AMs during advanced endoscopic procedures. Methods: Patients referred for advanced endoscopic procedures, including endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and small bowel enteroscopy (SBE), were prospectively enrolled. |
