In the field of pediatric gastroenterology, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy has established itself as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. In order to increase patient tolerance during this procedure, deep sedation is essential. Children are at a higher risk of serious adverse effects from procedural sedation; thus, their safety is a primary issue throughout this procedure. Multiple studies have been done to find the ideal method for procedural sedation in terms of ease of administration, quality, safety of sedation and recovery profile, but the consensus seems lacking. In this study we will compare between nasal inhalation of sevoflurane versus intravenous ketamine, midazolam and propofol for pediatrics undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Patients in inhalational group will receive Sevoflurane at 7% dial concentration in 100% O2 by an appropriately sized face mask until adequate sedation occurs as adequate jaw relaxation for the endoscope insertion and attainment of Modified Ramsay Sedation Score (MRSS) 7 (i.e., Asleep, reflex withdrawal to painful stimuli only).
Preoxygenation with 100% O2 for 1 minute, by proper sized face mask. Patients in Ketamine -midazolam -propofol (KMP) group will receive 1-1.5 mg/kg IV ketamine and 0.05mg/kg IV Midazolam and 1mg/kg IV Propofol as induction dose then followed by incremental doses of 0.5 mg/kg IV Propofol alone for maintenance and if procedure is prolonged propofol infusion at 100 μg/kg/min is given for maintenance of sedation. Induction dose will be considered as adequate if adequate jaw relaxation for endoscope insertion and Modified Ramsay Sedation Score (MRSS) ≥7 occurs with maintenance of spontaneous respiration. Induction time will be considered as time from beginning of IV agent to achievement of MRSS ≥7. After endoscope insertion, maintenance of oxygenation by nasal cannula at flow twice the minute ventilation of the patient
