Abstract

Colonoscopy is one of the most common screening procedure to detect colorectal cancer. Sedation during colonoscopy decreases anxiety, discomfort, minimizes risks, and promotes the overall satisfaction of the patient. It’s a challenge for nurses to adopt a sedation regimen taking into consideration traditional and modern techniques and methods. Purpose: To compare moderate and deep sedation effects on satisfaction, length of stay, and overall experience of patients undergoing colonoscopy. Methods: A quasi-experimental research was conducted among 149 patients who responded to the Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale after been consented pre-procedure. Results: Statistically significant differences were demonstrated for almost most items of Iowa satisfaction with the anesthesia scale, in addition to the clear difference between the post-procedure stay duration and time to have had their vitals baselined again. Conclusion: Deep sedation using Propofol was much more effective in enhancing patient satisfaction and reducing the length of stay and procedure duration substantially, thus contributing to a higher quality of care and improved performance of the endoscopy units.
