Abstract:
Over the past 10 years, endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disesses has become one of the most commonly performed invasive procedures in China. Recently, China is considered the international leader in some new endoscopic technologies. In this paper, we discuss anesthesia support for new endoscopic technologies, including endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), in terms of selection such as operative procedure, complications, preoperative evaluation, anesthesia management, and intraoperative monitoring.
