Interventions

Drug : Fentora buccal tab 100mcg is administered to both the propofol group and the etomidate group participating in the study to prevent the occurrence of myoclonus before sedation. The propofol grou
(150 mg / 15 ml / A) at a sedation-inducing dose and starts the procedure when the MOAA / S scale 0 or 1 is reached. Thereafter, to maintain the MOAA / S scale 0 or 1, the procedure is completed and c
(150mg / 15ml / A) 20mg (2ml) as a maintenance dose. The etomidate group intravenously injects 8mg (4ml) of ETOMIDATE-LIPURO INJ (20mg / 10ml / A) at a sedation induction dose and starts the procedure
