Propofol sedation has been used successfully in various outpatient minor procedures in children. Limited data are available on the usefulness of propofol sedation during gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate our experience of propofol sedation in pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. ⋯ Propofol sedation for endoscopic procedures is safe and acceptable for children. Propofol sedation should be offered to young children, especially those who express significant anxiety.
