This review summarizes the forms, drugs, and future techniques of sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy, including practices specific to Hungary.
Provides a regional synthesis of endoscopy sedation options; leaves open the need for prospective trials to standardize techniques.
Sedative and analgesic premedication is frequently used during gastrointestinal endoscopy. Sedation improves patient's compliance, helping the examinations and their safe completion, but it lengthens the procedures, increases the costs, and complications can occur. Sedative drugs are applied during upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, and also at ERCP. The review summarizes the different forms of sedation, drugs, future techniques and possibilities of improvements. Moreover, sedation practice in Hungary is also described.
