Summary
This study looked at whether letting patients control their own sedation during arm surgery under regional anesthesia leads to higher satisfaction compared to having an anesthesiologist control it. 70 adults having upper limb orthopedic surgery were randomly assigned to either patient-controlled or anesthesiologist-controlled sedation with propofol. The main goal was to see which group reported better overall experience.
