About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Blinded Study Examining Sedation Levels During Outpatient Colonoscopies

Examine levels of sedation required for patients to comfortably undergo colonoscopy using propofol and if adjunct monitoring equipment promotes patient safety.

Read the detailed description

Propofol for sedation during outpatient endoscopy has become a popular technique in place of midazolam and opioid sedation. It has been associated with improved patient satisfaction and a faster recovery with less nausea and vomiting. However, there are a number of potential adverse effects associated with propofol. It has no analgesic effects; therefore, when used for moderate sedation procedures it frequently has to provide deeper levels of sedation to allow a painful procedure to be performed.

Some patients are sedated to the level of general anesthesia and may develop respiratory depression or airway obstruction requiring immediate airway support.

We examined the level of sedation required for patients to comfortably undergo routine colonoscopy using propofol and what monitoring system would best predict the patients who might need an airway intervention.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Examine possible relationships (correlations) between sedation using the SEDLine monitors and level of sedation using the Ramsay Sedation Scale and examine the number and type of airway interventions and clinical signs performed during the procedure.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Outpatient Colonoscopy, run by Baylor Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Examine possible relationships (correlations) between sedation using the SEDLine monitors and level of sedation using the Ramsay Sedation Scale and examine the number and type of airway interventions and clinical signs performed during the procedure. (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jun 2017.
