Summary

This study looked at over 10,000 people who had a gastrointestinal endoscopy (a scope procedure for the stomach or colon) under sedation. The goal was to find out how often breathing complications like cough, fever, or shortness of breath happen afterward, and what factors might increase that risk. By understanding these risks, doctors may be able to better prevent problems in future patients.
