Risks associated with anesthesia services during colonoscopy.
The researchers aimed to quantify the difference in complications from colonoscopy with vs without anesthesia services. They concluded that the overall risk of complications after colonoscopy increases when individuals receive anesthesia services. The widespread adoption of anesthesia services with colonoscopy should be considered within the context of all potential risks.
