Overview
Brief Summary
Many studies address safety and effectiveness of non-anesthesiologist propofol sedation (NAPS) for GI endoscopy. Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) is a sophisticated tool for providing optimal sedation regimen and avoiding under or oversedation.
This randomized double blind controlled study compares standard moderate sedation level of sedation (group S) during upper endoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy (CS) versus propofol NAPS (group P).
Detailed Description
70 CS and 70 EGD ASA I-II patients were studied. In group S (n=70) we administered fentanyl (1μg/kg) + midazolam (0.04-0.03 mg/kg) for CS and midazolam (0.04-0.03 mg/kg) for EGDS and in group P (n=70) fentanyl 1µg/Kg + propofol TCI 1.2-1.6 μg/ml for CS and propofol TCI 1.2-1.6 μg/ml for EGD. Vital parameters and Observer's Assessment of Alertness and Sedation Scale (OAA/S) were monitored throughout the study. Endoscopist's and patient's satisfactions were measured after procedure and 24-72 h later by visual analog scale (VAS).

Arms & Interventions
propofol
Patients in Group Propofol(n=70) were seated with propofol target concentration 1.2-1.6 µg/ml. Patients in both groups undergoing CS received also iv fentanyl (1μg/Kg) for pain control.
Intervention: Propofol
propofol

Intervention: Target Controlled Infusion
midazolam
Control Group: patients in Group midazolam (n=70) were sedated with midazolam 0.04 mg/kg if aged\< 70 - 0.03 mg/kg if aged\> 70. Patients in both groups undergoing CS received also iv fentanyl (1μg/Kg) for pain control.
Intervention: Midazolam
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Endoscopist's VAS (Visual Analog Scale) satisfaction about propofol TCI moderate sedation
Time Frame: one day
Endoscopist's satisfaction was measured after endoscopic procedures by visual analog scale (VAS 0-100).
Patient's VAS (Visual Analog Scale) satisfactions about propofol TCI moderate sedation
Time Frame: one day
Patient's satisfactions were measured after endoscopic procedures and 24-48 hours later by visual analog scale (VAS 0-100).
Secondary Outcomes
- Safety (number of partecipants with adverse events) of propofol TCI moderate sedation(one day)
- Time to dischargeability (minutes to reach Modified Aldrete score ≥ 18) of patients(one day)
