Patient-controlled sedation (PCS) allows patients to match their sedation requirement to perceived discomfort. The significant delay in onset of sedation may be overcome with effect-site steered target controlled infusion, but previously only trials in volunteers have been carried out. We therefore conducted a randomised, double-blind controlled trial comparing effect-site steered propofol PCS with anaesthetist-administered propofol sedation in 40 patients presenting for colonoscopy. The initial effect-site target in the PCS group was 0.8 microg.ml(-1), increment was 0.1 microg.ml(-1) and lockout was 3 min. Patient and endoscopist satisfaction and operating conditions were similar between the two groups. PCS patients were sedated more slowly (13 [7.1] vs. 3 [1.1] min; p < 0.0001) and less deeply (minimum BIS value: 71 [16] vs. 58 [15]; p = 0.13) than anaesthetist-administered propofol sedation patients. More of the latter patients were hypotensive, but all patients had similar recollection of events during the procedure and similar quality of recovery.
