Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Sedation depth

Experimental: "light" sedation - In this study the depth of sedation will be guided by the Bispectral Index monitor (BIS monitor). A BIS value of 70-80 will be targeted in the "light" sedation arm.

Active Comparator: "deep" sedation - In this study the "deep" sedation arm will have a BIS value of less than 60 targeted.


Other interventions: Sedation depth
The intervention is the depth of sedation targeted in this study.
Patients enrolled in this study will be sedated with the same medications (fentanyl bolus and propofol target controlled infusion), and at the same starting doses, in each study arm. However, the depth of sedation targeted will differ between the arms, and this depth will be guided by the BIS monitor.
It is expected that those patients randomised to "deep" sedation will require a higher dose of sedative medication to achieve their target BIS value (<60) than those in the "light" sedation group (BIS 70-80).

Summary
Brief summary
In this trial, patients undergoing elective colonoscopy under sedation will be randomised to
BIS-guided sedation targeting either "light" (bispectral index [BIS] 70-80) or "deep"
(BIS<60) sedation. Sedation will be achieved with a standardised regimen of target-controlled
infusion of propofol and fentanyl bolus. The primary end point will be the incidence of
procedure recall in each group - this will be assessed at the conclusion of the procedure.
The procedural conditions, cardio-respiratory complications and recovery including cognitive
function will be assessed during and immediately after the procedure. The incidence of
dreaming and patient satisfaction with anaesthesia care will be recorded immediately after
the procedure. The study will be complete when the patient leaves the hospital on the day of
the procedure.
