BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia treated in the
emergency department (ED), with primary electrical cardioversion (PEC) the
preferred method of rhythm control. Anecdotally, patients undergoing ED
procedural sedation (EDPS) for PEC differ from those requiring EDPS for other
procedures: they are at higher risk of adverse events, and require fewer drugs
and lower doses. We attempt to verify this using an EDPS registry at a Canadian,
tertiary care teaching hospital. METHODS: This is a retrospective review of
patients that underwent EDPS for the period of June 2006 to September 2014. We
compared demographics, medication use and intra-procedural adverse events between
those receiving EDPS for PEC for AF compared to that for other indications. We
report the asssociation between AEs and predictors using logistic regression.
RESULTS: A total of 4 867 patients were included, 714 for PEC for AF and 4 153
for other indications. PEC patients were more likely male (58.5% vs. 47.1%),
older (59.5 years vs. 48.1 years), and less likely to be ASA I (46.6% vs. 69.0%).
PEC patients received smaller doses of propofol and less likely to receive
adjuvant analgesic therapy (11.5% vs. 78.2%). PEC patients were more likely to
experience hypotension (27.6% vs. 16.5%) but respiratory AEs (apnea, hypoxia and
airway intervention) were not different. CONCLUSION: EDPS for PEC differs from
that conducted for other purposes: patients tend to be less healthy, receive
smaller doses of medication and more likely to suffer hypotension without an
increase in respiratory AEs. These factors should be considered when performing
EDPS.
