Controlled Clinical Trial
Propofol sedation during endoscopy in patients with cirrhosis, and utility of psychometric tests and critical flicker frequency in assessment of recovery from sedation.
Patients with cirrhosis who undergo endoscopy under sedation could be at increased risk of complications. We assessed the utility of the critical flicker frequency (CFF) in the recovery of cognitive function. ⋯ Propofol is safe in patients with cirrhosis and the CFF is a useful tool for the assessment of recovery from sedation in these patients.
