Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyNurse-administered propofol sedation compared with midazolam and meperidine for EUS: a prospective, randomized trial.
The utility of nurse-administered propofol sedation (NAPS) compared with midazolam and meperidine (M/M) for EUS is not known. ⋯ Compared with M/M, NAPS for an EUS offered a faster sedation induction and full recovery time, higher postprocedure patient satisfaction, and a quicker anticipated return to baseline function. Total costs were similar between the groups.
