Safety of non-anesthesiologist positive pressure ventilation and sedation/analgesia during cardiac electrophysiology (EP) procedures in high-risk patients with known or risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
NIPPV with sedation can be safely delivered in high-risk OSA patients by trained non-anesthesiologist/pulmonary/intensive care personnel in an EP lab setting. Policy and procedure manuals may benefit from revision.
