Official Title

Patient-Controlled Anesthesia for Endoscopic Procedural Sedation (PCAPS). A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating Patient-controlled Propofol Sedation in Therapeutic Colonoscopies

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if patient administered propofol sedation results in superior patient satisfaction compared to standard conscious sedation in advanced therapeutic endoscopy.

• Does self administration of the sedative propofol increase patient satisfaction? Researchers will compare patient administered propofol sedation (where the patient administers propofol by pushing a button) with standard conscious sedation

Participants will:

• Be randomized to either sedation route.
• Answer a preendoscopy questioneere and a postendoscopy questioneere 1 hour after the examination as well as one week after the examination.

• Colo-rectal Polyps

• Patient controlled analgesia
• Standard medical treatment
