Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialPropofol versus midazolam/fentanyl for outpatient colonoscopy: administration by nurses supervised by endoscopists.
Propofol is under evaluation as a sedative for endoscopic procedures. We compared nurse-administered propofol to midazolam plus fentanyl for outpatient colonoscopy. ⋯ Nurse-administered propofol resulted in several advantages for outpatient colonoscopy compared with midazolam plus fentanyl, but did not improve patient satisfaction.
