Is propofol suitable and safe as a sole agent for continuous sedation in unpremedicated patients during gastrointestinal endoscopy?
Propofol is an effective sole agent for continuous sedation during gastrointestinal endoscopy, offering rapid recovery and excellent amnesia without significant age- or ASA-related haemodynamic compromise when titrated carefully.
Dubois et al. (1988) studied this question.
