59yo F
BMI 27
Appropriately NPO
Screening colonoscopy with very quick and good endoscopist in an ASC
Just giving straight propofol, and she is in lateral position
5 minutes in starts coughing and regurgitates a mouthful of greenish fluid.
I suction it.
Sats unchanged. Breathing comfortably, no more coughing.
I just finished the case and watched her clinically and she did fine.
Would anyone have:
Turned the sedation off?
Intubated?
CXR?
Admitted for observation overnight?
Wanted to get some thoughts from the group.
Thanks!
