Summary
In the field of pediatric gastroenterology, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy has established
itself as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. In order to increase patient tolerance during
this procedure, deep sedation is essential. Children are at a higher risk of serious adverse
effects from procedural sedation; thus, their safety is a primary issue throughout this
procedure. Multiple studies have been done to find the ideal method for procedural sedation
in terms of ease of administration, quality, safety of sedation and recovery profile, but the
consensus seems lacking. In this study we will compare between nasal inhalation of
sevoflurane versus intravenous ketamine, midazolam and propofol for pediatrics undergoing
upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
