- Detailed Description
Sedation is a drug-induced depression in the level of consciousness. The clinical objectives of administering sedation for GI endoscopy are to relieve patient anxiety and discomfort, improve the outcome of the examination, and diminish the patient's memory of the event. A number of different sedatives and analgesics can be used to achieve appropriate levels of sedation for GI endoscopic procedures. The targeted level of sedation may vary depending on patient and procedural variables, and doses of sedatives should be titrated accordingly to achieve a safe, comfortable, and technically successful endoscopic procedure. Knowledge of the pharmacologic profiles of sedation agents is necessary to maximize the likelihood that the desired level of sedation is achieved.(1) All patients receiving sedation to facilitate endoscopic procedures should have monitoring of cardiorespiratory parameters before, during, and after administration of sedation/analgesia. Electronic monitoring may detect early signs of patient distress and is an adjunct to continuous clinical assessment. Commonly used monitoring equipment for patients undergoing endoscopic procedures includes pulse oximetry, single-lead continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring, and automated blood pressure monitoring. With the increased use of propofol to facilitate endoscopy in recent years, less familiar monitoring devices have been introduced, including end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) and level of consciousness monitors. Given a recent change in the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) guidelines, recommending CO2 monitoring for patients undergoing both moderate and deep sedation, familiarity with capnography may become necessary.(2) Patients are at risk of respiratory depression and acute hypercapnia during sedation and recovery from anaesthesia . Desaturation on pulse oximetry for monitoring of hypoventilation is a late sign. Moreover, hypoventilation is masked by administration of supplemental O2. ( 3) For a sedated patient in spontaneous ventilation, hypoventilation (by airway obstruction or central respiratory depression) will likely precede hypoxemia. Hence, if the patient is monitored using a capnograph machine, when hypoventilation occurs, PEtCO2 increases and the shape of the capnography curve is modified.This may trigger an adequate response from the person monitoring the anesthesia (chin thrust, sedative dose modification, oxygen supplementation) so as to prevent hypoxemia. (5) Measuring CO2 noninvasively includes capnography and capnometry. capnography provides numerical and graphical (waveforms) forms, while capnometry provides only numerical form. (6) Arterial blood gas (ABG) can tell us about the patient's acid-base balance, which is measured by the hydrogen ion (H) concentration in the blood (pH), oxygen saturation (SaO2), partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), concentration of bicarbonate (HCO3), base excess and base deficit.(7) ABG results can indicate how effectively the patient's body is compensating for the acid-base disturbance and whether the patient's total blood volume is adequate for transporting all the nutrients that the body's tissues require.

Hyopthesis of this trial: is CO2 monitoring through non-invasive methods may provide an early warning sign of hypoventilation during procedural sedation.
Primary outcome: Measuring end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) that is taken during different flows of oxygen(O2) supplementation.
Secondary outcome: Will include O2 saturation, haemodynamics (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean blood pressure), time to recovery, patient satisfaction, Ramsay sedation scale (which is used to measure level of sedation through dividing patients level of sedation into 6 categories ranging from severe agitation to deep coma). (9) Ramsay Sedation Scale
1. Patient is anxious and agitated or restless, or both.
2. Patient is co-operative, oriented, and tranquil.
3. Patient responds to commands only.
4. Patient exhibits brisk response to light glabellar tap or loud auditory stimulus.
5. Patient exhibits a sluggish response to light glabellar tap or loud auditory stimulus.
6. Patient exhibits no response.
