Doxapram alleviates low SpO2 induced by the combination of propofol and fentanyl during painless gastrointestinal endoscopy

Abstract: BackgroundPainless gastrointestinal endoscopy under intravenous propofol anesthesia is widely applied in the clinical scenario. Despite the good sedation and elimination of anxiety that propofol provides, low SpO2 may also result. Doxapram is a respiratory stimulant with a short half-life. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of doxapram on alleviating low SpO2 induced by the combination of propofol and fentanyl during painless gastrointestinal endoscopy.MethodsIn this prospective study… Show more

“…Propofol-based intravenous anesthesia is the main component of outpatient implementation of EGD under sedation techniques. However, there are certain risks and complications associated with intravenous anesthesia, the most common being a decrease in pulse oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) and even the development of hypoxemia [2]. The sharing of the oropharyngeal cavity for EGD operations and anesthesia management leads to complex airway management and further increases the risk of hypoxemia.…”

“…However, there are certain risks and complications associated with intravenous anesthesia. The most commonly seen symptom would be decrease in blood oxygen saturation (SPO 2 ) and may further develop into hypoxemia [2] . The other fact is that EGD operations and anesthesia management share the oropharyngeal cavity and therefore complicates the process of airway management.…”
