Notes: Data are presented as mean ± SD, median (IQR). F for mean ± SD, H for median (IQR). Δ refers to the former data minus the latter data.
Abbreviations: MAP, mean arterial pressure; HR, heart rate; SPO2, pulse oxygen saturation. T0, patient enters the examination room; T1, beginning of the colonoscopy; T2, examination of the cecum; T3, completion of the procedure.
