Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the popularity of the sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy in mainland China.MethodsThe survey on the popularity of the sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy was conducted with questionnaires sent by e-mails or telephones to the GI endoscopy units of three levels of hospitals.ResultsFrom May,2010 to November,2010,169 units from 28 provinces (90.3％ ) were enrolled,including 46 hospitals of grade Ⅲ,91 of grade Ⅱ and 32 of grade Ⅰ.Sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy were performed in 110 (65.1％,110/169) hospitals,i.e.93.5％ (43/46) grade Ⅲ hospitals,68.1％(62/91) grade Ⅱ hospitals and 15.6％ (5/32) grade Ⅰ hospitals.Significant difference was observed between the grade Ⅲ and the grade Ⅱ hospitals (P ＜ 0.05 ),so was between the grade Ⅱ and the grade Ⅰ hospitals ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Propofol was frequently used in sedation in 98 hospitals ( 89.1％ ).The only 9.1％( 10/110)hospitals,which had full-time anesthetists or anesthetic nurses,were all grade Ⅲ hospitals.ConclusionThere has been great progress in the popularity of sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy in mainland China during the past decade.However,it is less frequently pefformed in grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ hospitals.Shortage of full-time anesthetists is still a problem.
