As long as the person doing it has everything they need and is competent. I would suggest no Versed and simply proprofol sedation. Ideally if he has dementia local alone, but should do well with carefully administered Propofol. READ MORE

2 year old will likely need sedation at the least. Depth of sedation depends on other circumstances. Follow their instructions about last oral intake (solids AND liquids) to reduce the risk of vomiting and aspiration. READ MORE
