Open publisher page 32 citations

Abstract

Propofol was compared with Midazolam for sedation during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in a randomised, double blind study. Both drugs were equally acceptable to endoscopists and patients. There was significant oxygen desaturation after sedation and during endoscopy (p < 10(-6)). Significantly more patients in the propofol group could remember the diagnosis which was revealed to them immediately after the gastroscopy (p < 0.001).
