Conscious sedation is commonly used for upper GI endoscopy to provide comfort and relaxation to the patient during the procedure. It allows the patient to remain conscious but drowsy and less anxious. Local or surface anaesthesia is not sufficient for this procedure, and general anaesthesia is not typically necessary.
