Abstract

Given its rapid onset and short duration of action, Propofol is an appealing and effective drug for endoscopic procedures. Current product labeling dictates its administration only in the presence of personnel trained in administering general anesthesia. However, studies have shown that Propofol can be safely administered by a Propofol-trained endoscopy team. We aimed to evaluate the safety of gastroenterologist-administered BPS consisting of fentanyl, midazolam and propofol without an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist present, during ambulatory colonoscopy procedures.
