Background & Aims: 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.
Methods: One hundred patients (American Society of Anesthesiology classes I-III) undergoing outpatient colonoscopy were enrolled prospectively in a multidrug propofol regimen that consisted of propofol, midazolam, and meperidine. Study outcome measures evaluated the level of sedation, length of procedure, sedation/recovery time, patient satisfaction, and adverse events.
