Why is it important?
GIE procedure requires some forms of anesthesia. IVS is commonly used for this procedure. Sedation could be effectively and safely performed by anesthesiologist or non-anesthetic personnel with appropriate patient selection and monitoring. The new sedative drugs and equipment are available. However, preanesthetic assessment and preparation, anesthetic drugs used, monitoring practices and post-anesthesia management are still essential for the anesthesia innovation in GIE procedures.
