Patient Controlled Propofol Sedation Versus Standard Sedation in Advanced Therapeutic Colonoscopy With a Focus on Patient Satisfaction

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Patient controlled analgesia: Patient controlled propofol sedation. 5 mg propofol iv per push. Max 8 pushes/minute

Standard medical treatment: Midazolam and/or fentanyl given intravenously as needed by endoscopy nurse

Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if patient administered propofol sedation results in superior patient satisfaction compared to standard conscious sedation in advanced therapeutic endoscopy.

• Does self administration of the sedative propofol increase patient satisfaction? Researchers will compare patient administered propofol sedation (where the patient administers propofol by pushing a button) with standard conscious sedation

Participants will:

* Be randomized to either sedation route.
* Answer a preendoscopy questioneere and a postendoscopy questioneere 1 hour after the examination as well as one week after the examination.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Patient satisfaction — One hour after the procedure and one week after the procedure
  Patient satisfaction measured using Patient satisfaction with sedation index (PSSI), a validated Likert-scale questionnaire with 13 questions. Each question with 5 ranks (1-5). Minimum score 13, maximum score 65. Higher score indicates higher satisfaction.
