Abstract

The ability of a target-controlled propofol infusion system to provide sedation for patients undergoing assessment of the upper airway during snoring is presented. This technique provides the desired sedation level for induction of snoring and is short acting and readily controllable. We advocate its use in sedation nasal endoscopy.
