Abstract
Proper patient preparation for any endoscopic procedure ensures procedure success and patient safety. Sedation is an integral part of endoscopy, as it aims to alleviate patient anxiety and discomfort, diminishes the patient’s memory of the event, and improves outcomes and patient experience. Continuous monitoring during and after the administration of sedatives detects early signs of distress and allows for timely intervention and rescue.
