Effects of adding adjuvants to propofol on the post-anesthesia cognitive function in patients undergoing gastroscopy/colonoscopy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the effects of propofol plus adjuvants on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and patient satisfaction. Methods: Studies published up to September 2023 on the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, […]
A randomized controlled trial for measuring effects on cognitive functions of adding ketamine to propofol during sedation for colonoscopy
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding ketamine to propofol on cognitive functions in patients undergoing sedation for colonoscopy. Methods: In this randomized, double-blinded, and controlled study, 200 patients were […]
A randomized controlled trial of light versus deep propofol sedation for elective outpatient colonoscopy: recall, procedural conditions, and recovery
Purpose: This study aimed to determine if the incidence of recall was equivalent between light and deep sedation for colonoscopy. Secondary analysis included complications, patient clinical recovery, and post-procedure cognitive impairment. Methods: Two hundred patients undergoing […]
Early cognitive impairment after sedation for colonoscopy: the effect of adding midazolam and/or fentanyl to propofol
Background: The sedative drug combination that produces minimal cognitive impairment and optimal operating conditions during colonoscopy has not been determined. We sought to determine if the use of propofol alone results in less cognitive impairment at […]
