Summary
Addition of fentanyl or remifentanil to the propofol produced sedation for scheduled ERCP
will decrease the propofol requirements for predetermined sedation levels (as shown by
Bispectral Index Monitor (BIS) monitor), will be associated with faster recovery monitored by
Ramsay's and Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAAS) scores and BIS, less
postoperative pain (assessed by Visual Analogue Scale=VAS) and less early cognitive
impairment after sedation (as assessed by the MiniMental test).
