Abstract
In the American survey conducted by Keeffe [1] it was shown that most patients routinely receive intravenous sedation for endoscopic procedures. Likewise, in the United Kingdom, Bell [2] has shown that approximately 90% of endoscopists use intravenous benzodiazepines for sedating at least 75% of patients undergoing endoscopy. Overall, the Workshop concurred with this view although there were some marked national variations. The most extreme was Finland, where Dr. Janatuinen reported that they do not use sedation at all for endoscopy except for children under 6 years old.
