Impact of Body Weight on Sedation-Related Outcomes in Complex Electrophysiological Interventions

BMI alone was not associated with an increased risk of sedation-related complications during CEPs. Despite higher absolute drug requirements and a greater comorbidity burden in overweight and obese patients, procedural safety was comparable across all BMI categories. These findings emphasize that individualized sedation protocols, embedded within standardized monitoring frameworks, are essential to ensure safe and effective sedation in diverse patient populations.

Abstract

BMI alone was not associated with an increased risk of sedation-related complications during CEPs. Despite higher absolute drug requirements and a greater comorbidity burden in overweight and obese patients, procedural safety was comparable across all BMI categories. These findings emphasize that individualized sedation protocols, embedded within standardized monitoring frameworks, are essential to ensure safe and effective sedation in diverse patient populations.
