Do Preoperative Bilirubin Levels Affect Recovery and Hospital Stay After Sedation Anesthesia?

Sponsor: Naime Yalçın

Summary

There are still complexities regarding the effects of anesthetic drugs on bilirubin metabolism. The aim of the study was to investigate whether preoperative serum bilirubin levels are associated with the length of hospital stay after ERCP performed under sedation anesthesia in the presence of propofol. Unstable hemodynamics, increased propofol sensitivity, and prolonged recovery time to anesthetics are common features encountered in patients with hyperbilirubinemia. Therefore, close monitoring of cardiovascular functions in these patients and awareness of the possible need for a reduction in the dose of anesthetic used are the expected benefits of the study.
