Abstract
Endoscopy is relatively safe, with a complication rate of less than 1% for standard procedures such as esophagogastro- duodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy.1 Theoretically obstruc- tive sleep apnea (OSA) can lead to cardiopulmonary complica- tions during procedural sedation. However the initial studies addressing the presence of OSA in patients undergoing upper endoscopy and colonoscopy did not find an increased risk of cardiopulmonary complications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
