Peri-procedural respiratory complications in patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation under procedural sedation and analgesia: Incidence and predictive factors
In patients with AF undergoing CA under PSA, per-procedural respiratory complications occur in 42.2 % of the cases. Duration of the PSA, a neck circumference > 40 cm, visceral fat percentage, tiredness, AHI, OSAS and COPD may help to identify patients at risk for per-procedural respiratory complications. Although age > 50 years is a recognized risk factor, this cut-off had limited discriminative value in our cohort, as most patients were older than 50.
