Abstract
One of the most frequent locations for providing out of operating room anesthesia is the endoscopy suite. In 2009 an estimated 6.9 million upper endoscopy procedures were performed according to the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE). Utilization of anesthesia services for these procedures has risen to 30–35% of patients nationwide (Anesthesiol Clin 27, 71–85, 2009). Sedation offered by anesthesia providers has been shown to play a crucial role in safety, efficiency, patient satisfaction and throughput.
