Special Announcement about Propofol:
Rocky Mountain Endoscopy Centers is pleased to announce that we have partnered with Anesthesia Health Partners (AHP) to offer Propofol sedation to our patients for the endoscopic procedures. Patients having their procedure done at the Aurora Endoscopy Center, Lakewood Endoscopy Center or North Denver Endoscopy Center will be screened for eligibility and, provided they are a good candidate, will receive Propofol administered by a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). Propofol is becoming the preferred method of sedation across the nation as it provides many advantages over the prior method of using a combination of Fentanyl and Versed.
We will continue to provide our patients with the best sedation available to better serve our community and increase rates for Colorectal Cancer Screening.
Propofol offers many advantages as a sedative for endoscopy, including:
-
Improved Comfort
-
Better Polyp Detection Rates
-
Faster Onset of Sedation
-
Faster Patient Recovery
