Core Tip	Strong evidence exists to support safety and tolerability of non-anaesthesiologist-administered propofol for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedures. United Kingdom guidelines, however, recommend propofol is administered only by anaesthesiologists. Consequently, in the United Kingdom, nearly all EUS procedures are performed with combinations of benzodiazepine and opiate sedation for which little tolerability data exists. This letter shares the experience of a single EUS centre using benzodiazepine and opiate sedation demonstrating it can be safe and the resulting tolerability acceptable.
