Randomized Controlled Trial
A randomized-controlled trial of high- or low-volume intravenous Plasma-Lyte(®) to prevent hypotension during sedation for colonoscopy.
The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of hypotension during sedation in adults presenting for elective colonoscopy and randomized to intravenous Plasma-Lyte 148(®) at either 2 mL·kg(-1) (low volume) or 20 mL·kg(-1) (high volume). ⋯ This study does not support the routine use of 20 mL·kg(-1) of intravenous Plasma-Lyte 148 to prevent hypotension and other complications during sedation for elective colonoscopy in adult patients.
