Supplementing ABPB with IV sedation was associated with an increased rate of respiratory depression (episodes of desaturation) compared to fully awakened patients. The rate of oxygen administration was also higher in sedated patients even though they had fewer cases of chronic respiratory diseases and fewer were active smokers than non-sedated patients. Future research should consider precisely evaluating patient satisfaction, as well as the differences between sedation and drug-free approaches.
