Summary
Since introduction in 1989, propofol has gained wide acceptance for sedation during
endoscopic procedures. The optimal sedation drug during esophagogastroendoscopy (EGD) is not
established. Midazolam and propofol are used for sedation drug. Balanced propofol sedation
(BPS) refers to the administration of an opiate, a benzodiazepine, and propofol. In this
study, the investigators want to compare the patient satisfaction with EGD following balanced
propofol sedation (BPS) versus propofol sedation alone.
