Airway Interventions in the Cardiac Electrophysiology Laboratory: A Retrospective Review
Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 08/03/09

Trentman TL et al. – The results suggest that a significant proportion of the authors' patients undergoing cardiac electrophysiology laboratory procedures required deep sedation if not general anesthesia, although a non–general anesthetic was planned. The issue of depth of sedation has implications for patient safety, privileging, and regulatory compliance. Based on the present results, the authors believe sedation for these procedures is best given by anesthesia providers; furthermore, caregivers should be aware that these procedures are likely to require deep sedation if not general anesthesia.
