Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
All patients over 18y with instructions for diagnostic or therapeutic EGD referred to the Endoscopy Unit of the Infanta Cristina Hospital for sedation were included successively. All patients was referred to the Infanta Cristina Hospital Endoscopy Unit in Parla, Madrid, Spain, for an EGD between January and May 2012.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
The exclusion criteria were instructions for urgent endoscopy, encephalopathy, zero patient cooperation, lack of informed consent, not having fasted, a history to developing methemoglobinemia, pregnant women, lactating mothers or known allergies to propofol or lidocaine. All the patients provided their informed consent beforehand

Reporting Groups
  Description
Lidocaine Group

Blinded spraying 50 mg of pharyngeal topical lidocaine 180 seconds before sedated esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)

Lidocaine : Applying of 5 puff controlled released (50 mg) transoral spray of lidocaine (10 mg=1 puff).

Placebo

Excipients without lidocaine. The flavour taste is the same of active comparator ensuring the masking.

Placebo : Applying of 5 puff controlled released (50 mg) transoral spray of placebo (excipients of trade mark of lidocaine ensuring the patient masking).
