Summary
Many studies address safety and effectiveness of non-anesthesiologist propofol sedation
(NAPS) for GI endoscopy. Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) is a sophisticated tool for
providing optimal sedation regimen and avoiding under or oversedation.
This randomized double blind controlled study compares standard moderate sedation level of
sedation (group S) during upper endoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy (CS) versus propofol NAPS
(group P).
