Abstract
Twenty-three adult patients undergoing repair of inguinal hernia under spinal anesthesia received propofol infusion for sedation with the assist of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV). Circulatory and respiratory parameters, such as percutaneous oxygen saturation, transcutaneous carbon dioxide tension, respiratory rate, tidal volume, blood pressure, and heart rate, were maintained within physiological ranges during the anesthesia. There were no adverse effects. These findings suggest that the application of NPPV in patients receiving propofol infusion for sedation is clinically practicable during anesthesia.
