“…In addition, episodes of hypoxemia occur more often in these children due to their higher oxygen consumption. In this respect, routine administration of oxygen during the endoscopic procedures is an inexpensive way to improve breathing condition and the sedation required for endoscopy in children (12)(13)(14).…”

Background: Different drug regimens can be used for management of anxiety before endoscopy. This study aimed to compare the sedation effects of propofol+ketamine (PK) and sodium thiopental+fentanyl (TF) in children during upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy. Methods: A triple-blind clinical trial was conducted on 88 children aged 2-12 years who were candidate for UGI endoscopy at Children's Medical Centre, Tehran, Iran, during 2012-2013. It was administered propofol (2.1 mg/kg) + ketamine (1 mg/kg) and 100% oxygen in PK group, and thiopental (5 mg/kg) + fentanyl (1 mg/kg) in TF group. The haemodynamic status and degree of sedation by Ramsay's criteria were measured. Results: The mean age in PK and TF groups was 92.2±38.2 and 98.6±49.5 months, respectively. The systolic blood pressure and heart rate significantly increased and decreased in PK and TF groups during the procedure, respectively. The frequency of Ramsay's Sedation Scales of 5 and 6 were respectively 72.7% and 27.3% for PF, and 54.5% and 45.5% for TF group (p=0.076). Conclusion: Although both groups were similar in the degree of sedation, PK can be a more appropriate choice for sedation in children with special diseases undergoing endoscopy due to small changes in haemodynamic parameters and, consequently, their higher stability.
