Most of the procedures under gastroendoscopic setup are performed on daycare basis; hence, the drugs with shorter half-life and which are easily metabolized are preferred. Dexmedetomidine is an attractive alternative to sedatives when the patient needs to be spontaneously breathing and easily arousable from sedation.
