Researchers investigate 'High' feeling after common sedation drug

This study aimed to understand how often patients experience feelings of pleasure or euphoria after receiving propofol sedation during gastrointestinal endoscopy. Researchers followed 986 patients who underwent painless endoscopy procedures to measure the prevalence, severity, and duration of these euphoric feelings. The study also explored factors that might influence these experiences and tracked other effects like sleep patterns and satisfaction with the anesthesia.
