Sedación en la endoscopia gastrointestinal alta. Análisis de la tolerancia, las complicaciones y el coste-efectividad

From the point of view of the endoscopist, endoscopy can be performed without sedation, although subjective tolerance is greater in patients sedated with midazo-lam and meperidine. Non-sedation is more cost-effectiveness than sedation but if sedation is required midazolam and meperidine achieve better results in terms of effectiveness than midazolam alone.
