The article discusses sedation practices in gastrointestinal endoscopy, highlighting variations in sedation rates, preferred regimens, and patient monitoring practices among endoscopists. The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) conducted a survey among its members to gather information on sedation practices, training, and patient care during endoscopic procedures. The survey revealed a lack of standardized training in sedation administration, varied sedation options, and limited monitoring tools used post-procedure. Recommendations for new ESGE guidance include standardizing propofol use, improving training, and establishing discharge criteria. The survey emphasizes the need for continuous training, quality improvement initiatives, and standardized practices to enhance patient safety and procedural outcomes in GI endoscopy.
