Scientific titleDeep sedation compared with moderate sedation in polyp detection during colonoscopy: a randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesWe sought to compare the performance of colonoscopy for the detection of polyps in patients sedated with deep sedation and moderate sedation.
Ethics approval(s)Venizelion Ethics Committee approved on the 4th March 2010 (ref: 2517)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSedation/colonoscopy
InterventionPatients in both groups initially received intravenously (IV) 2 mg (less than 70 kg body weight [b.w.]) or 3 mg (greater than 70 kg b.w.) of midazolam and 25 mg of pethidine. Additional midazolam was carefully titrated in boluses of 1 mg IV to achieve the desired level of sedation, moderate or deep according to the randomisation. Bolus doses of 25 mg pethidine were also given if patients complained of pain or if there were other indications of pain such as facial grimaces, movement and a sudden increase in heart rate.

All colonoscopies were performed with wide-angle (170°), high-resolution videocolonoscopes:
1. Olympus (CFH180AL, Tokyo, Japan) with a high-definition 1080-line screen
2. Olympus (OEV191H, Tokyo, Japan) and video processor Olympus (EVIS EXERA II CV-180, Tokyo, Japan)

Patients were treated with sedatives during the procedure (colonoscopy), which lasted from 15 to 45 min approximately for every patient. There wasn't follow up for any arm of our trial.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measurePolyp detection rate, measured at end of study
Secondary outcome measuresMeasured at end of study:
1. Patients' and the endoscopist’s satisfaction
2. Recovery time
3. Adverse events related to sedation
