Development and validation of the patient and clinician sedation satisfaction index for colonoscopy and upper endoscopy.
Recent increases in gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures and sedation options show a need for better sedation evaluation. This article describes the development and validation of 2 instruments: the Patient Satisfaction with Sedation Instrument (PSSI) and the Clinician Satisfaction with Sedation Instrument (CSSI) for assessing satisfaction in patients undergoing outpatient upper endoscopy and colonoscopy. ⋯ The PSSI and CSSI provide for feasible, reliable, and valid assessment of procedural sedation satisfaction for outpatient colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopies and can be used for future sedation studies.
