The Safety of Propofol Sedation for Elective Nonintubated Esophagogastroduodenoscopy in Pediatric Patients

Abstract

This study demonstrates that deep sedation for elective esophagogastroduodenoscopies can be provided safely in the appropriately screened patient by nonanesthesiologist physicians in a sedation program. These data suggest that propofol is a safe and effective agent for esophagogastroduodenoscopy sedation.
