Core Tip
Core Tip: There is insufficient data examining the safety of different sedation modalities in emergent endoscopic management of food bolus impaction or foreign object ingestion. Many endoscopists frequently perform emergent endoscopy under monitored anesthesia care or general anesthesia instead of conscious sedation. This retrospective study aims to investigate the complication rate of emergent endoscopic extraction performed under different sedation modalities. Analysis revealed no significant difference in the complication rate among patients sedated under different sedation modalities. These findings can potentially lead to sedation practices that allow more timely access to emergent endoscopy and further cost savings to the health care system.
