Overview
Brief Summary
The overall object of this project is to investigate Remimazolam with Fentanyl compared to Midazolam with Fentanyl for sedation in screening colonoscopy with the primary outcome being total time from start of medication to fulfillment of the discharge criteria. In this way we will examine whether Remimazolam with Fentanyl could create an improvement in procedural sedation by leading to both a shorter procedure as well as shorter recovery time.
