Cocktail Sedation Containing Propofol Versus Conventional Sedation for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

Summary

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) practically requires moderate to deep sedation by a combination of benzodiazepine and opioid. Propofol as a sole agent may cause oversedation. A combination (cocktail) of infused propofol, meperidine, and midazolam can reduce the dosage of propofol and may result in a lower risk of oversedation. The investigators prospectively compare the efficacy, recovery time, patient satisfactory, and side effects between cocktail and conventional sedations in patients undergoing ERCP.
