SORE THROAT, REFLUX, ADVERSE EVENT, BLOOD, HYPERTENSION, COMPLICATIONS
We recorded the procedure success rate and the time taken for endoscopy insertion, EVL completion and airway device insertion. Blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), SpOThe procedure duration was defined as the time between intubation and extubation of the gastroscope, whereas recovery time was defined as the time between anesthesia withdrawal and discharge from the recovery room. Extubation time was defined as the time between the end of anesthesia and the removal of the airway device. Adverse events or complications, including hypotension, hypertension (BP > 160/100 mmHg), bradycardia, sore throat, postoperative nausea or vomiting, urinary retention, poor muscle strength, and reflux, were recorded during and after endoscopic interventions. The attending endoscopist's satisfaction with advancing and operating the endoscope was assessed via VAS score: 0 = not satisfied, 10 = very satisfied.
