Catheter Stability With Bispectral Index-Guided Deep Sedation Supported by Heated Humidified High-Flow Nasal Oxygen During Variable-Loop Catheter Pulsed Field Ablation
Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) can provoke muscle contraction, cough, and body movement, potentially compromising catheter stability. We evaluated bispectral index (BIS)-guided transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE)-based deep sedation during variable-loop catheter PFA.
