Tu1092 OPTIMAL SEDATION FOR THE GASTROINTESTIINAL ENDOSCOPY WITH THE COMBINATION OF INTERMEDIATE - ACTION AND RAPID- ACTION AGENT

Since 1989, we have performed the gastrointestinal endoscopy with sedation of 2 agents combination (diazepam/thiopental sodium). In 1997, we changed diazepam to midazolam in order to decrease the risk of respiratory depression. Since 2010, we have used propofol instead of thiopental sodium in order to decrease the risk of cough from sputum.
