Supports non-anesthesiologist propofol sedation in endoscopy; extends prior efficacy data into a consensus European framework.
Dumonceau et al. (2010) conducted a systematic review in Gastrointestinal endoscopy. Non-anesthesiologist administration of propofol (NAAP) vs. Traditional sedation was evaluated. Non-anesthesiologist administration of propofol for gastrointestinal endoscopy presents similar rates of adverse effects, provides higher patient satisfaction, and decreases recovery time compared with traditional sedation.
