Abstract
The article presents the literature review on anesthesiological support during gastroscopy and colonoscopy including evaluation of availability, effectiveness, safety and patient’s comfort of the used methods. Data on the number of endoscopic interventions in gastrointestinal tract performed under general anesthesia and controlled sedation in Vladivostok hospitals is provided. Low availability of anesthesiological support for these procedures in public hospitals is stated. Reasonability of widespread use of moderate analgosedation during gastroscopy and colonoscopy is demonstrated.
