Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conscious sedation is commonly used for upper GI endoscopy procedures. It provides pain relief and sedation without completely putting the client to sleep, allowing them to comply with instructions during the procedure. Epidural and spinal anaesthesia are generally not used for this type of procedure, and local anaesthesia alone is usually not sufficient.
