Target-Controlled Sedation with Propofol Infusion for PEG-J Placement in Advanced Parkinson’s Disease: A Prospective Observational Study on Safety and Feasibility
This study highlights the feasibility and clinical applicability of a TCI propofol protocol for PEG-J placement in patients with advanced PD (stages 4 and 5). While no deaths were recorded within the 30-day follow-up, the sample size is insufficient to draw definitive conclusions regarding long-term safety.
