Multicenter StudySuccess rate of pneumatic reduction of intussusception with and without sedation.
Pneumatic reduction of ileocolic intussusception is often performed without sedation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the success rate of pneumatic reduction of intussusception with and without sedation. ⋯ The findings suggest that the pneumatic reduction of intussusception under propofol-based sedation had a slightly higher success rate than the pneumatic reduction of intussusception without sedation; however, the safety of this practice is yet to be determined.
