The effectiveness of a body positioning device for controlling patient movement and additional sedative use during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: A retrospective analysis
The Medo V-Fix device significantly improved body movement control and reduced the need for additional doses of sedatives and manual intervention. Despite a higher incidence of mild hypoxemia, these events were appropriately managed with routine monitoring, indicating that the device increases procedural safety and efficiency.
