Recommendations for anesthesia during catheter ablation of VA

COR	LOE	Recommendations	References
I	C-EO	1. Provision of variable depth of sedation, analgesia, and anesthesia during mapping and ablation of VA is recommended.
I	C-EO	2. In patients undergoing VA ablation, careful preprocedural assessment is indicated to define the ideal strategy for sedation and analgesia.
IIa	C-LD	3. It is reasonable to avoid general anesthesia and deeper levels of sedation in patients with idiopathic VA, particularly if the arrhythmia is suspected to be catecholamine-sensitive or was not inducible at a prior procedure.	S6.1.1
IIb	B-NR	4. Moderate to deep sedation under close hemodynamic and respiratory monitoring might be considered for VA ablation in stable patients with idiopathic or scar-related VAs expected to have a longer procedure or undergo a painful technique, such as epicardial access.	S6.1.1–S6.1.3
