Abstract

It is commonly recommended that patients should refrain from driving for 24 hours after endoscopy in which sedation is given. In Japan, routinely, driving is prohibited after receiving sedation. Whether patients can safely drive (e.g., home or to work) 1 hour after routine colonoscopy using propofol sedation is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess psychomotor activity, driving skills, and the blood propofol level before and 1 hour after colonoscopy using propofol sedation.
