Pediatric esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) has become an established diagnostic
and therapeutic modality in pediatric gastroenterology. Effective sedation
strategies have been adopted to improve patient tolerance during pediatric EGD.
For children, safety is a fundamental consideration during this procedure as they
are at a higher risk of severe adverse events from procedural sedation compared
to adults. Therefore, a detailed risk evaluation is required prior to the
procedure, and practitioners should be aware of the benefits and risks associated
with sedation regimens during pediatric EGD. In addition, pediatric advanced life
support by endoscopists or immediate intervention by anesthesiologists should be
available in the event that severe adverse events occur during pediatric EGD.
