Propofol Administered by Gastroenterologists by Target Controlled Infusion Pump During Endoscopy

Summary

Many studies address safety of non-anesthesiologist propofol sedation (NAPS) for gastrointestinal endoscopy. Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) is a sophisticated tool for providing optimal sedation regimen and avoiding under or oversedation. The objective of the study is to compare standard moderate sedation during upper endoscopy and colonoscopy versus propofol NAPS.
