Continuous versus Intermittent Midazolam Sedation in Balloon-Assisted Enteroscopy: A Multicenter Randomized Trial
Continuous infusion of midazolam did not demonstrate superiority over intermittent bolus administration with regard to the proportion of time under conscious sedation. However, continuous infusion suppressed body movements during BAE without increasing adverse events; thus, it could be one of the feasible sedation options for BAE in clinical practice.
