This review reflects the usage of ketamine and propofol for endoscopy. It also works to compare whether either of these agents has a stronger action alone as compared to their combined action. The gastrointestinal system is one of the most problematic systems of the human body. It can be divided into two regions. These are upper gastrointestinal tract and lower intestinal tract. The diseases and conditions involving the gastrointestinal tract may arise anywhere throughout its entire length. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is one of the most sought methods for the diagnosis and treatment of several conditions involving the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopy is a very helpful diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that has been indicated for several patients. Endoscopy is an invasive procedure; it is required for the patient to be sedated during the process to ensure a pain-free experience.
