Study Outcomes
nausea or vomiting, desaturation, fatigue, hallucination, pain, dizziness, hypotension, headache
EVENT, SECONDARY
The primary outcome measure was a composite of desaturation and hypotension (any event of desaturation, hypotension, or both) during sedation. Prespecified secondary outcomes included individual occurrences of desaturation and hypotension; total propofol dose; pain and fatigue levels at emergence from sedation and 15 minutes after the procedure; the occurrence of dizziness or headache, hallucination or nightmare episodes, and nausea or vomiting; and satisfaction of patients and endoscopists. Postprocedure pain or fatigue was evaluated using the numerical rating scale (range, 0-10, with 0 indicating no pain or fatigue and 10 indicating the most severe pain or fatigue experienced by the patient). Patient satisfaction and endoscopist satisfaction were measured using a 5-point Likert scale (range, 0-5, with a score of 1 indicating being very dissatisfied and a score of 5 indicating being highly satisfied).
