Conscious Sedation for Outpatient Colonoscopy

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2021-01-05
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Although colonoscopy is a mildly painful procedure, the pain and the procedure itself are distressful for most patients. This raises the attention for using different sedation regimens aiming at maintaining optimal sedation level with maintained airway and stable haemodynamics all through the procedure. The present study was scheduled to investigate the sedative efficacy of dexmedetomedine versus propofol-remifentanil for outpatient colonoscopy.

• Phase: Phase 2
