Propofol sedation in outpatient colonoscopy by trained practice nurses supervised by the gastroenterologist: a prospective evaluation of over 3000 cases

In this study, the safety of propofol sedation was evaluated in a cohort of outpatients of an ambulatory practice for gastroenterology in Germany over a period of 21 months.
