Sedationless endoscopy

One method to improve the safety and reduce the cost of endoscopy is to perform procedures without sedation.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Providing sedation and analgesia safely and effectively and ensuring clinical stability and comfort of the patient have long been important components of an endoscopic procedure.⁸ However, because a substantial proportion of procedure-related complications are related to sedation and analgesia, the performance of endoscopy without sedation seems to be a worthwhile
