MIDAZOLAM/FENTANYL, PROPOFOL/ALFENTANIL OR ALFENTANIL ONLY FOR COLONOSCOPY
7
CONCLUSIONS
The results of this comparison of three sedation regimens for colonoscopy suggest that
conscious sedation only with alfentanil —even administered by endoscopy nurses without
anaesthesia participation - could be an alternative, even in the setting of a teaching hospital.
It results in similar patients and endoscopists` satisfaction and facilitates a rapid recovery
with less frequent respiratory events.
