Prospective audit of the safety of endoscopist-directed nurse-administered propofol sedation in an Australian referral hospital.

Background And Aim: Endoscopist directed nurse administered propofol sedation (EDNAPS) is widely considered to be safe and efficient, but there are limited data from the Australian health-care setting, and Australian sedation guidelines do not support the practice. Thus, we report data from a prospective audit of EDNAPS over a 6.5-year period in an Australian referral hospital.
