Effect of end-expiratory carbon dioxide monitoring on painless colonoscopy procedures in obstructive sleep apnea patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Carbon dioxide (CO2) accumulation during prolonged painless colonoscopy procedures in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) can lead to an increased incidence of various complications. The disposable end-expiratory CO2 device monitors the respiratory function and CO2 elimination of patients in real time, providing timely feedback to physicians. This enhances the safety and success of the procedure and improves the overall medical experience for the patient.

Method

A total of 158 patients with OSAS underwent colonoscopy and were divided into two groups. The study group received end-expiratory CO₂ monitoring, while the control group underwent routine monitoring. Perioperative interventions, patient satisfaction, and postoperative complicat
