For the first time four crucial aspects of gastrointestinal endoscopy are
combined in a single text. Drugs for sedation and monitoring of the patient are addressed with particular reference to safety issues and comfort and

acceptability for the patient. Resource management and health

economic techniques are applied to endoscopy to determine quality

and outcome. Problems of negligence and informed consent form the basis of a medico-legal examination of endoscopic practices.
