BACKGROUND: @entity1875 has recently been reported to be a safe sedative for endoscopy. METHODS: One hundred consecutive @entity1 more than 18 years of age undergoing an endoscopic procedure were included in the study. The risk of sedation was calculated using the American Society of Anesthesiology risk class. Pregnant @entity1 , @entity1 opting to undergo endoscopy without sedation, and those allergic to any sedative, eggs or soyabeans were excluded. A trained nurse administered @entity1875 under the supervision of an anesthesiologist. Vital parameters, including @entity26 saturation, were measured before and during the procedure. Time taken for full sedation, quantity of @entity1875 used, duration of the procedure, time taken for recovery from sedation, and any complication during or after anesthesia were recorded. The @entity1 scored quality of sedation, perception of @entity158 and any memory of the procedure. RESULTS: Eighty-four @entity1 were in ASA risk class I and II and the remaining 16 were in a higher ASA risk class. There was no difference in vital sign measurements during the endoscopic procedures as compared to baseline values. None of the @entity1 had any complication. More than 90% of @entity1 did not report any @entity158 and had complete @entity2730 for the procedure. CONCLUSION: @entity1875 is a safe and effective sedative for endoscopic procedures.
