- Patients awaiting heart transplants often require colonoscopies due to bleeding or screening needs, but there's limited research on the safety of these procedures for individuals on inotropic medications or mechanical circulatory support.
- A study was conducted from 2015 to 2021 with 92 heart failure patients undergoing colonoscopy while on advanced heart failure therapies, such as inotropes or mechanical devices.
- Results indicated that the most common reason for colonoscopy was cancer screening, with significant findings including 8% of screening procedures revealing advanced adenomas and 17% of bleeding-related colonoscopies identifying sources needing intervention, but no major complications related to anesthesia were reported.

Anesthesiology and Critical Care, Kindai University Faculty of Medicine, Osaka, JPN.
Background: Epiglottic masses are often asymptomatic, making them difficult to detect during preoperative examinations. Consequently, anesthesiologists may face ventilation difficulties with no apparent cause.
