Core Tip	There is little research examining sedation type in light of patient satisfaction and overall efficiency of colonoscopy. Our novel prospective study evaluated the total procedure room time and patient satisfaction in a high-volume endoscopy center, which performs colonoscopy using conventional sedation and propofol sedation. A statistically significant reduction in total room time with conventional sedation (midazolam/fentanyl) when compared to anaesthetist-administered propofol was demonstrated. Patients reported less procedure pain when receiving propofol sedation compared to conventional sedation. Special discussion emphasizes the need to further examine strategies to maximize endoscopy unit efficiency to respond to increasing patient demand, while maximizing patient satisfaction.
