Core Tip	Procedural sedation is a key component of diagnostic and therapeutic gastrointestinal (GI) procedures. It maximizes patient comfort and improves procedural outcomes. Propofol is currently a gold standard for procedural sedation in most parts of the world. However, in recent years, Remimazolam, an ultra-short acting benzodiazepine sedative, is gaining popularity among anesthesiologists and endoscopists for its favorable pharmacology, efficacy, and safety profile. In contrast to other sedatives, particularly Propofol, Remimazolam has lower incidence of intra-procedural hemodynamic instability and respiratory depression. This comprehensive review highlights how Remimazolam can shape the future of GI endoscopy.
