NON-ANESTHESIOLOGIST ADMINISTERED PROPOFOL SEDATION IN SCREENING COLONOSCOPY

Data from a. prospective cohort study in colorectal cancer screening colonoscopy comparing traditional sedation with fentanyl and midazolam, versus combined Propofol sedation administered by non-anesthesiologists. These colonoscopies were performed between 2018 and 2019. We used the ASA and Ramsay scales for comorbidities and sedation levels. Cardiopulmonary adverse events were defined as: systolic blood pressure<90 mmHg, oxygen saturation <90% or disrrythmia lasting for more than 60 seconds..We recorded as well the management and outcomes of all these events.
