As cannabis is legalized in more places and usage rises, clinicians should be aware of patients&#8217; habits and prepare themselves and their patients for increased sedation and accompanying risks, researchers said.\n                                                <\/p>\n<p>                                                                                &#8220;Patients didn&#8217;t have increased awareness or discomfort during procedures, but they did require more drugs,&#8221; said Yasmin Nasser, MD, Ph.D., lead researcher on the study and assistant professor at Snyder Institute for Chronic Diseases Cumming School of Medicine University of Calgary.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers conducted a prospective cohort study of 419 adult outpatients undergoing endoscopic procedures at three Canadian centers. Procedures were conducted under conscious sedation, which leaves the patient relaxed and comfortable but partially conscious during the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Each patient completed two questionnaires, one before the procedure about their cannabis use and another afterwards indicating their awareness and comfort level during the procedure. The questionnaires were analyzed along with details about the use of the sedatives midazolam, fentanyl and diphenhydramine during the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Cannabis use was associated with increased odds of requiring higher total sedation\u2014defined as more than 5 mg of midazolam, or more than 100 mcg of fentanyl, or the need for diphenhydramine\u2014during gastroscopy, an endoscopic procedure that begins with insertion of a tube and camera through the throat. Cannabis use was not associated with higher use of sedation during colonoscopy. Gastroscopy <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly requires more sedation than colonoscopy because the inserted scope causes irritation in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, often triggering the gag reflex. Cannabinoid use was not independently associated with fentanyl use or adverse events, nor was it associated with intra-procedural awareness or discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>This study looked at whether patients were users or non-users of cannabis, but did not examine the timing, quantity or route of cannabis intake prior to procedure, whether it was inhaled, vaporized, ingested or otherwise. Researchers say these variables could be the basis for future study.\u00a0 Also, researchers only examined the impacts of baseline cannabis use during procedures that use conscious sedation and did not examine its impact on propofol sedation, which is more commonly used in the U.S.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                                                                        Regular cannabis users require up to 220 percent higher dosage for sedation in medical procedures\n                                                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p>\n                                                                                                <strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                Baseline cannabinoid use is associated with increased sedation requirements for outpatient endoscopy, abstract Sa1022, Digestive Disease Week 2022<\/p>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    American Gastroenterological Association<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gastro.org\/\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg>\n                                                            <use href=\"https:\/\/medx.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/>\n                                                        <\/svg><br \/>\n                                                    <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Cannabis users require more sedation for endoscopy (2022, May 21)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 22 May 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-05-cannabis-users-require-sedation-endoscopy.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
