Abstract
Sedation is an integral part of upper and lower endoscopy and serves to alleviate patient discomfort, reduce risk of injury to the patient, and facilitate optimal examination during the procedure. The majority of patients undergoing endoscopy have sedation provided by the endoscopist. An understanding of commonly used medications and an awareness of appropriate patient monitoring is important to safely provide sedation for patients undergoing these procedures.
