A physician may also prescribe a sedative the night before the exam and before the procedure. Often a local anesthetic will be applied to the throat to prevent discomfort during placement of the endotracheal tube.
Babies burp primarily to release air swallowed during feeding, which helps prevent discomfort and gas buildup in their small stomachs. Adults belch for similar reasons, as they also swallow air while eating or drinking, and belching helps expel this excess air. The terms "burp" and "belch" are often used interchangeably, but "burp" is more commonly associated with infants. Both actions serve to relieve pressure in the stomach and promote comfort.

Sharks are typically opportunistic feeders and do not have a specific feeding time; however, they are often more active during dawn and dusk, known as crepuscular feeding. This behavior allows them to take advantage of the low light conditions to hunt for prey. Additionally, some species may also feed more during the night, depending on their habitat and prey availability. Overall, feeding times can vary based on species, location, and environmental factors.

Dehydration can lead to a gradual decline in bodily functions, and the process is often accompanied by increased discomfort. Palliative care focuses on comfort during this time, providing support for both the patient and their loved ones.
