Midazolam is a drug chosen for moderate sedation by many endoscopists, it acts on receptors of the cortex, thalamus and cerebellum to produce the sedation effect, and its effects on intracranial pressure during moderate sedation have been poorly studied. This report provided data on intracranial pressure monitoring before, during sedation application, during upper digestive endoscopy and after examination. From this collected data we evaluated intracranial pressure through its wave morphology and P2/P1 ratio. A small reduction in this last parameter was observed after the exam and may be related to midazolam use. It is suggested this must be investigated in further studies.
