چکیده

A pproaches to sedation in the electrophysiology (EP) laboratory range from intravenous sedation techniques to general anesthesia (GA) (Table 1). Although the provision of GA requires a dedicated anesthesia provider, controversy exists as to whether intravenous sedation in this complex patient population can or should be undertaken by a proceduralist-directed nurse-administered (PDNA) model. In a recent survey of 38 national academic centers, electrophysiologists noted that in 26.3% of EP cases, an anesthesiologist is warranted most of the time or always due to patient complexity, yet there is also ample literature espousing the safety and benefits of PDNA sedation for these cases. Moreover, intended sedation plans may require modification over the course of a procedure. A 2-year review of 208 adults undergoing catheter ablation (including for supraventricular tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, premature ventricular contraction, and ventricular tachycardia) using a variety of sedation strategies demonstrated that of the 186 non-GA cases, 20 required conversion to GA and 54 needed additional airway interventions. This article provides a comprehensive interdisciplinary review of sedation practices for EP procedures. It examines different care models (dedicated anesthesiology team, ad hoc anesthesiology, PDNA approach), discusses evidence for and against various sedation practices based on procedure type, reviews existing sedation guidelines, and offers practical recommendations for the clinical electrophysiologist.

Identification of a Novel KCNQ1 Frameshift Mutation and Review of the Literature among Iranian Long QT Families

Background: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is characterized by the prolongation of QT interval, which results in syncope and sudden cardiac death in young people. KCNQ1 is the most common gene responsible for this syndrome. Methods: Molecular investigation was performed by DNA Sanger sequencing in Iranian families with a history of syncope. In silico examinations were performed for predicting the path...

Adaptive-servo ventilation combined with deep sedation is an effective strategy during pulmonary vein isolation.

AIMS Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) requires suppression of patient restlessness by sufficient sedation in addition to maintaining stable respiration. We applied adaptive-servo ventilation (ASV) and examined the effects of ASV combined with deep propofol sedation on PVI using a NavX. METHODS AND RESULTS We analysed 75 paroxysmal AF (PAF) patie...
