Conclusion
Diazepam sedation did not significantly affect arterial oxygen saturation during esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
Supporting Evidence
- Endoscopy caused a temporary drop in oxygen levels at first for both groups.
- The study group had lower oxygen levels until extubation.
Takeaway
The study looked at how a medicine called Diazepam affects oxygen levels when people have a special camera test. It found that it doesn't really change how much oxygen people have.
