(average 96 mcg). Average procedure length was 44 minutes. Average outpatient recovery was 119 minutes.Four adverse events were reported, including 1 case of hypotension and 3 cases of bradycardia. In all cases the adverse event resolved after suspension of DXM. In 3 cases, DCS was restarted without further incident. In the 4th case hypotension persisted, and the procedure was completed with fentanyl and midazolam only. In 2 other cases DCS was abandoned for MAC after the patients became too agitated to continue.The wholesale cost of DXM was $66.00 per procedure. The wholesale cost of propofol averaged $8.00 to $16.00 per procedure. There was no difference in the cost of midazolam and fentanyl when comparing DCS to MAC. The typical anesthesiologist charge was estimated to be $900.00 per case. Conclusion: Our data suggest that use of DCS was not associated with any significant adverse events. Endoscopists were uniformly satisfied with DCS.In this study the use of DCS was safe, effective and less costly than MAC. Further study is warranted.

Aims: This study explored endoscopists’ practices of sedation and monitoring in Korea. Methods: A 5-section, 35-item anonymous questionnaire was developed by the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (KSGE) Task Force on Endoscopic Sedation. All members of the KSGE were invited to complete a Web-based self-reported questionnaire during the survey period (August 2014), and all data were transferred via the Web to a central database. Results: In total, 1332 of the 5860 invited KSGE members completed the survey, representing an overall response rate of 22.7%. The mean age of respondents was 43.4 years; 80.2% were men, and 82.4% were gastroenterologists. Forty-six percent of respondents practiced at private clinics, 26.2% practiced at nonacademic community hospitals, and 27.9% practiced at academic teaching hospitals. A vast majority of respondents (98.9%, 1318/1332) routinely performed procedural sedation for diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy (99.1%) and colonoscopy (91.4%); the dominant method was midazolam alone for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (37.0%) and a combination of midazolam and propofol for colonoscopy (33.8%). Sixty-three percent of respondents (830/1318) routinely used propofol with a high physician satisfaction rating: 91.1% scored this technique as R7 points on a 10-point visual analog scale. Propofol was exclusively administered by non-anesthesiologists (99.8%). Community practitioners, gastroenterologists, or endoscopists with !10 years of practice experience were more likely to use propofol than were practitioners at academic hospitals, non-gastroenterologists, or endoscopists with O10 years of practice experience (67.7% vs. 50.9%, 65.8% vs. 49.1%, and 71.8% vs. 52.7%, respectively; all P ! 0.001). The fear of cardiopulmonary side effects was the most common reason cited for not currently using propofol (50.0%, 244/488). The majority of respondents (94.1%) routinely monitored patients using pulse oximetry, and 42.5% routinely administered supplemental oxygen. However, 38.3% of respondents rarely or never used the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification for preprocedural assessment. A substantial proportion of respondents (8.9%) practiced sedation without targeted training for endoscopic sedation, and 27.4% practiced without sedation administration and monitoring protocols. Conclusions: Non-anesthesiologist-administered propofol sedation is becoming a standard practice during gastrointestinal endoscopy in Korea. The results of this survey suggest the need to address many important issues impacting the quality improvement in patient care, the development of appropriate training programs and, potentially, policy-making.
Su1513 Lidocaine Sprayed-on the Endoscope Can Improve the Tolerance During Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy? Byung Hyo Cha* Gastroenterology disease center, Che-ju Halla General Hospital, Che-ju, Korea (the Republic of) Backgrounds and aims: Topical pharyngeal anesthesia has been the standard preparation for reducing the discomfort during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy
www.giejournal.org
(UGIE). But it is not clear whether this method effective in regard to the tolerance of procedure. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacies of the added lidocaine spray on the tip of endoscope in improving patient tolerance. Methods: All the patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were consecutively enrolled and assigned to case group with additional 2 puffs of the 10% lidocaine spray on the tip of endoscope before intubation or control group without additional spray. During the endoscopy, the main outcomes including frequency of retching and belching were measured by independent assistants. Results: Among 497 eligible patients, 262 were assigned to case group and 235 to control. In univariated and multivariated analysis, there was significant difference between two groups in terms of belching (case vs. control, OR Z 0.15, 95% CI Z 0.09 - 0.24, p ! 0.01) and retching (case vs. control, OR Z 0.22, 95% CI Z 0.15 - 0.34, p Z 0.01). Elderly showed less probability of belching events (age, OR Z 0.96, 95% CI Z 0.94 - 0.98, p! 0.01), female sex was found as another predictive value of the presence of belching (female vs. male, OR Z 2.16, 95% CI Z 1.40 - 3.33, p Z 0.01). The sedation and patients with GERD were revealed as the factors correlated to the presence of retching (sedated vs. nonsedated, OR Z 0.39, 95% CI Z 0.25-0.61, p Z 0.01; GERD vs. none, OR Z 1.48, 95% CI Z 1.00 - 2.21, p Z 0.06). Conclusions: The new methods adding lidocaine spray on the endoscope can improve the patient tolerance during UGIE.
