The impact of endoscopy sedation information sheets on the level of concern regarding possible awareness in patients undergoing endoscopy sedation

Our findings were 28.8% of patients who received the endoscopy sedation information sheet (n=82) were concerned about awareness during the procedure, compared to 36.5% of patients in the control group (n=105). However, the difference was not statistically significant. We also found that the incidence of awareness was higher (13.9%) in the intervention group compared to 8.8% in the control group, but again not statistically different. Satisfaction with anaesthetic care was high among both groups with 98.6% in the intervention group and 100% in the control group.
