Esketamine provides both sedation and analgesia with minimal hemodynamic or respiratory impact. Combining esketamine with propofol may miti-gate propofol\u2019s adverse effects while enhancing sedation quality. However, the com-bination\u2019s overall safety and efficacy remain inconclusive.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This systematic review and meta-analysis compared propofol-based sedation with\n                      <jats:italic>versus<\/jats:italic>\n                      without intravenous esketamine in gastrointestinal endoscopy, synthesizing evidence from randomized controlled trials.
