Core Tip Various guideline recommendations for sedation in gastroenterological endoscopy exist, but there is little data available on the use of combination therapy with low-dose midazolam in combination with propofol vs propofol monotherapy (PMT) for short-term outpatient procedures in patients with a low examination risk. This cohort study analysed the safety and costs of a combination therapy with low-dose midazolam in combination with propofol vs PMT in 120 patients undergoing preventive colonoscopy. Combination therapy was as safe as PMT, but was less expensive.
