Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialSelective sedation for colonoscopy.
A study of selective sedation for colonoscopy was conducted in two parts. All procedures were performed by one experienced colonoscopist. In the first phase, 41 patients received intravenous sedation before colonoscopy and were then prospectively randomized to either a "not-reversed" group, which did not receive flumazenil before withdrawal of the colonoscope, or to a "reversed" group, which received flumazenil before colonoscope withdrawal. ⋯ Twenty-three percent required intravenous sedation, whereas 78% did not receive any sedation. Ninety-three percent were willing to undergo another colonoscopy without prior sedation. Only 8% preferred prior intravenous sedation before any future colonoscopy.
