Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses complications and procedures related to diagnostic procedures, specifically gastroscopy. Complications are rare but can be caused by sedation and analgesia, resulting in cardiopulmonary adverse events. Pulmonary adverse events include hyposemia, hypercapnia, and aspiration pneumonia. It is advised to reschedule the procedure if there is food in the stomach to avoid potential complications such as covering abnormalities or causing aspiration pneumonia. Cardiac adverse events may include hypotension, hypertension, vasovagal reaction, arrhythmias (atrial or ventricular ectopic beats, atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia), and angina. Nitroglycerin can be used to manage angina if it occurs. No specific credits were provided in the transcript.
