Resumen
ANGULO-MOLINA, Diego et al. Anesthetic procedures in gastrointestinal endoscopy. Mexican Associaton of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy position statement. Endoscopia [online]. 2021, vol.33, n.1, pp.2-21. Epub 28-Feb-2022. ISSN 2444-6483. https://doi.org/10.24875/end.m20000327.
All endoscopic procedures should be performed under sedation. This will reduce patients anxiety and will decrease post procedure discomfort. In Mexico, sedation must be administered and monitored by a certified anesthesiologist. Since the Asociación Mexicana de Endoscopia Gastrointestinal considers that every endoscopist should have basic knowledge of indications, contraindications and complications related to the anesthetic procedures performed during an endoscopic procedure, we developed a position statement regarding anesthetic procedures in gastrointestinal endoscopy.
