About this study

Official title: Patient-controlled Sedation vs Propofol Infusion for ERCP:a Randomized Controlled Study

Background: Deep sedation with propofol and opioid is commonly used for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), but is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Delivery of propofol and short-acting potent opioid analgesic using a self-administration device (patient-controlled sedation, PCS) could be another option for this purpose. Comparative studies with PCS for ERCP are lacking.The main objective of this prospective randomized trial trial was to compare PCS with propofol/remifentanil to anaesthesiologist managed propofol sedation during ERCP.

Read the detailed description

80 elective ERCP patients were randomized to anaesthesiologist managed propofol sedation (PI-group) or PCS with propofol/remifentanil (PCS-group). Sedation degree was estimated every 5 min throughout the procedure using Ramsay´s and Gillham´s sedation scores. Total amount of propofol was calculated at the end of procedure. Endoscopists´ and patients´ satisfaction was evaluated with questionary.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • infusion pumpDevice

    Also called -Braun AG, -an infusion pump

    anaesthesiologist´s managed infusion of propofol 10 mg/ml at rate of 10-60ml/h during ERCP targeting to moderate sedation level

  • infusion pump for patient-controlled sedationDevice

    Also called -Arcomed,Syramed AG,Switzerland, -infusion pump designed for self administration of the drugs

    self-administration of propofol and remifentanil mixture with zero lockout time and without dose limit and background infusion via Arcomed,Syramed AG,Switzerland self-administration pump.

  • propofolDrug

    Also called -Diprivan, -Recofol, -Fresofol

    Propofol 10 mg/ml solution is a short-acting, intravenously administered hypnotic agent.In propofol infusion group moderate sedation was initiated with propofol 40 mg bolus,thereafter propofol infusion was started at rate of 0.5 mg/kg/h.If the performance of ERCP become difficult infusion rate was increased gradually ad maximum rate of 9 mg/kg/h.Additional propofol boluses of 20-40 mg were available in both groups due to an anaesthesiollogist´s ´desigion.In patient-controlled sedation group propofol was used for preparation of sedative mixture.

  • fentanylDrug

    Also called -fentanyl citrate, -fentanyl

    Fentanyl citrate 50 mcg/ml,solution for injection,is a narcotic analgesic.In propofol infusion group 0.05 mg of fentanyl was administered intravenously before initiation of sedation. Additional 0.05 mg boluses of fentanyl were given if nociceptive stimulus was anticipated.

  • sedative mixtureDrug

    Also called -Ultiva, -Diprivan

    Sedative mixture was prepared by adding 5 ml of remifentanil hydrochlorid solution (50 mcg/ml)to 20 ml of propofol (10 mg/ml)

  • remifentanil hydrochloridDrug

    Also called -Ultiva

    Solution of remifentanil hydrochlorid (50 mcg/ml) was used for preparation of sedative mixture(see sedative mixture for details)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing infusion pump, propofol and fentanyl in people with Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography, run by Helsinki University Central Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 22 Dec 2020. 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 Finland. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

propofol and opioid consumption (time frame: one day). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01079312, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Dec 2020.
