405 outcomes of non-anesthesiologist administered propofol in pediatric gastroenterology procedures

Outcomes of sedation during pediatric gastroenterology (GI) procedures have become a growing area of interest. Studies have demonstrated that the types of sedation and anesthesia providers used in pediatric endoscopy vary widely between institutions. Limited data is available regarding the safety and efficacy of non-anesthesiologist administered propofol (NAAP) in pediatric endoscopy, with previous studies demonstrating adverse event rates up to 4.8%. NAAP has been found to have an acceptable safety profile in adult GI procedures.
