Patient position and hypoxemia during propofol sedation for colonoscopy: a randomized trial.
To evaluate the benefits of the left lateral position in avoiding hypoxemic events in patients undergoing colonoscopy. ⋯ The positioning of patients in the left lateral position during propofol sedation for colonoscopy results in lower desaturation rates provided the position can be maintained throughout endoscopy.
