Propofol has advantages as a sedative agent for endoscopic procedures including rapid onset, short half-life and rapid recovery time. However, concerns exist regarding the potential for respiratory depression, hypotension, perforation due to deep sedation and the need for monitoring by an anesthetist. Propofol has been used under endoscopist supervision at the Stanton Territorial Hospital in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories since 1996 (approximately 7000 cases).http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2008/265465
