NCT01229527

Brief Summary

The purpose of this randomized double-blind trial is to define the correct dosage of Remifentanil during operative and diagnostic endoscopic procedures. In particular we want to analyze if the administration of Remifentanil by PCSA (Patient Controlled Sedation and Analgesia) is a good method during colonoscopy, evaluating pain control, discharge time and side effects. 90 patients undergoing colonoscopy will be enrolled.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Discharge Time, the Time to Reach a Modified Aldrete Score ≥18

    Ten key parameters (Activity, Respiration, Circulation, Consciousness, O2 Saturation, Dressing, Pain, Ambulation, Fasting-feeding, Urine Output)are included in the Modified Aldrete Score. The maximum and minimum score for each parameter is respectively 2 and 0. The maximum total score is 20 and patient can be discharged when the total score is ≥18.

    > 0 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Patient's Satisfaction

    After the end of colonoscopy (when patients were completely awake) and 24 h after the procedure via telephone
