Covert stroke after non-cardiac surgery: a prospective cohort study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Moderate to deep sedation has been recommended during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). However, it is often accompanied by adverse events such as respiratory depression or aspiration pneumonia. This study investigated the respiratory complications and ESD outcomes of two sedation protocols: moderate s...
