| [ Summary ] | Recently, the number of reports on the efficacy and safety of propofol sedation for endoscopy has been increasing. Propofol has a very short half‒life and can be administered continuously. Therefore, stable and safe sedation during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) can be achieved.
