Endoscopic procedures can cause mild hypoxia, especially in patients over 50 or with longer procedures. Non-invasive monitoring is recommended for these individuals to manage oxygen saturation and vital signs.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Endoscopic procedures are common but can affect patient hemodynamics.
  • Monitoring vital signs like oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and heart rate is crucial during these interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess changes in oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and heart rate during endoscopic procedures.
  • To identify risk factors associated with these physiological changes.

Main Methods:

  • Forty patients without cardiorespiratory issues were monitored.
  • Oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and pulse rate were recorded from baseline to 5 minutes post-procedure.
  • Age, gender, procedure duration, and drug dosages were evaluated as potential risk factors.

Main Results:

  • Oxygen saturation significantly decreased during probe insertion, with 47.5% experiencing mild to moderate hypoxia and 12.5% severe hypoxia.
  • Age over 50 and procedures exceeding 27 minutes were significant risk factors for desaturation.
  • Pulse rate showed significant changes throughout the procedure, and 35% of patients experienced transient hypertension.

Conclusions:

  • Mild to moderate hypoxia is frequent during endoscopy and generally not serious.
  • Severe hypoxia is less common.
  • Non-invasive monitoring is advised for patients over 50 and procedures longer than 27 minutes.
