    AbstractThe increase in diagnostic, radiologic, and minor surgical procedures performed on pediatric patients outside of the traditional surgical suite setting has resulted in a marked increase in the use of conscious sedation. Not long ago, pediatric gastroenterologists were reticent about using intravenous sedation for pediatric endoscopy. With increased experience, careful screening, and the specialization of pediatric gastroenterology, however, endoscopy can now be performed safely with intravenous sedation on almost all patients.
