Core Tip	Optimizing sedation in gastrointestinal endoscopy requires a careful balance of efficacy and safety, tailored to individual patient needs and procedural demands. Recent insights suggest that midazolam as a standalone agent can achieve comparable patient satisfaction and safety profiles to the traditional midazolam-fentanyl combination, potentially reducing the risk of opioid-related complications
