Brief summary
This was a prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled clinical trial comparing three sedative regimens for outpatient colonoscopy.
Detailed description
This was a prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled clinical trial comparing target-controlled infusion (TCI) with propofol and patient-controlled sedation (PCS) with propofol, to conventional combination of midazolam and pethidine, in terms of quality and safety of sedation, and patient recovery during outpatient colonoscopy.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Patient willingness to repeat the same sedation technique | From patient arrival to recovery post colonoscopy, area until the point of patient discharge, assessed up to 3 hours after arrival at recovery | Patient responds yes or no. to willingness of having the same sedation during colonoscopy, in the future |
| Recovery time to Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness and Sedation Scale (MOAAS) | From time of arrival at the recovery area after completion of colonoscopy, until point of discharge from recovery area, assessed up to 2 hours post arrival at recovery | Recovery of patient from sedation when MOAAS 5 is achieved |
| Recovery time to ambulation | From time of arrival at the recovery area after completion of colonoscopy, until the point patient starts to ambulate, assessed up to 2 hours post arrival at recovery | Recovery of patient from sedation when patient starts ambulating |
| Recovery time to discharge | From time of arrival at the recovery area after completion of colonoscopy, until the point patient is deemed fit for discharge home, assessed up to 2 hours post arrival at recovery | Recovery of patient from sedation when patient is deemed fit for discharge home |
| Endoscopist satisfaction score | After completion of colonoscopy, the endoscopist graded his satisfaction score from the start of colonoscopy, assessed until 2 hours after completion of colonoscopy | After completion of colonoscopy, the endoscopist graded on a scale of 1 to 10, ease of the colonoscopy/procedure (1 = very difficult, 10 = very easy), and level of satisfaction (1 = very dissatisfied, 10 = very satisfied) using a 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS). |
| Patient satisfaction score | Patient satisfaction score from start of sedation until point of discharge from recovery assessed until 3 hours from the start of sedation | After completion of colonoscopy, the patient graded on a scale of 1 to 10, the level of satisfaction (1 = very dissatisfied, 10 = very satisfied) using a 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rescue analgesic drug requirement | From start of sedation, and during the entire duration of colonoscopy, assessed up to 2 hours from the start of sedation | Requirement for rescue analgesic or sedative in addition to study drugs/sedatives, during the entire duration of colonoscopy |
| Total drug consumption | Total consumption of all study drugs from the start of sedation, during the entire duration of colonoscopy until completion of colonoscopy, assessed up to 2 hours from the start of sedation | Total consumption of all study drugs from the start of sedation, during the entire duration of colonoscopy until completion of colonoscopy |
| Ease of colonoscopy score | during the entire duration of colonoscopy from the start of colonoscopy, assessed up to 2 hours from the start of colonoscopy | endoscopist graded on a scale of 1 to 10, ease of procedure (1 = very difficult, 10 = very easy) |
| Recalled events during colonoscopy | Recalled events retrieved from patient, from arrival to recovery area until point of discharge home, assessed up to 2 hours from arrival at recovery | The number of recalled events during the entire duration of colonoscopy |
| Recalled discomfort/ pain during colonoscopy | Recalled events of discomfort/pain retrived from the patient, from arrival to recovery area until point of discharge home, assessed up to 2 hours from arrival at recovery | The number of recalled events of discomfor/pain during the entire duration of colonoscopy |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time taken to onset of sedation | From start of sedation until MOAAS 3 or 4 attained, assessed up to one hour from the point sedation was commenced | Time taken for patient to reach a sedation score of MOAAS 3 or 4 |
