During the procedures several adverse events have been recorded by the anesthesiology team (Fig.1), including short duration hypoxia in 4 patients (3.6%), need to suction secretions in 7 patients, (6.4%) or need for bag mask ventilation in 1 patient (0.9%).

The other 20 patients (18.2%) had the following side effects from sedation (Fig.2): drowsiness in 5 patients (4.5%), nausea in 3 patients (2.8%), vomiting in one patient (0.9%).

These underlying pathologies could explain the higher separate incidence of low systolic pressure, mild bradycardia, hypoxia and lung secretion in excess during EUS and interventional EUS (Fig.3).

Hence, the separate incidence of adverse reactions after the procedures revealed a higher incidence of mild events as drowsiness, headache, coughing especially after EUS and interventional EUS (Fig.4).
