Core Tip
Core Tip: Our study highlights the effectiveness of a triage tool used at our tertiary care hospital for risk stratification in minimizing sedation reversal events during outpatient endoscopy procedures. By directing higher-risk patients to appropriate settings, we achieved low rates of sedation reversal, enhancing patient safety and optimizing resource utilization in ambulatory care settings. This approach can have a significant impact on improving patient outcomes and resource allocation in similar healthcare settings.
