Clinical TrialA prospective safety study of a low-dose propofol sedation protocol for colonoscopy.
Propofol has been shown to be an effective method for endoscopic sedation but there are few studies of low-dose propofol protocols for gastrointestinal endoscopy. ⋯ This protocol for propofol administration is safe and effective for patients undergoing elective colonoscopy. The level of sedation was titrated readily to a moderate level of sedation while preserving a high degree of patient satisfaction.
