We compliment the authors of the ProSed 2 Study1 for their large-scale analysis on the safety of sedation in endoscopic procedures. The vast majority of the over 300 000 endoscopies in this study have been performed under propofol sedation administered by the endoscopic team and only 0.2% were supported by an anaesthetist. In Germany and many other European countries, propofol is routinely administered by the endoscopist or trained endoscopy nurse according to clearly defined standards as set out in the European or German guidelines.2 3 Propofol sedation administered by non-anaesthetists is even practised widely in doctors’ surgeries with endoscopy facilities. Currently, according to recommendations of a working party of the Royal College of Anaesthetists …

在内窥镜检查中提供安全、有效和负担得起的镇静剂

我们赞扬 ProSed 2 研究 1 的作者对内窥镜手术中镇静安全性的大规模分析。本研究中超过 300 000 次内窥镜检查中的绝大多数是在内窥镜团队管理的丙泊酚镇静下进行的，只有 0.2% 得到了麻醉师的支持。在德国和许多其他欧洲国家，丙泊酚通常由内窥镜医师或经过培训的内窥镜护士根据欧洲或德国指南中规定的明确标准进行常规给药。2 3 由非麻醉师给药的丙泊酚镇静剂甚至在医生中广泛使用内窥镜检查设备的手术。目前，根据皇家麻醉师学院工作组的建议……
