Integrated Pulmonary Index in Gastroscopic Procedures

Abstract

Various complications are the leading cause of morbidity in sedation practices in endoscopic procedures, and guidelines recommend continuous monitoring of circulation, respiratory function, and ventilation. Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI), one of the methods that can be used in this monitoring, gives a single numerical value obtained by continuous and simultaneous joint mathematical analysis of Oxygen saturation, End-tidal carbon dioxide concentration, respiratory rate, and heart rate values and is a good monitorization in these interventions. and provides tracking. In this study, the aim is to determine the role of IPI in the diagnosis and follow-up of respiratory complications in patients who were sedated during gastroscopy procedures.
