About this study

Official title: Safe and Effective Sedation in Chronic Alcoholic Patients Underwent Diagnostic Endoscopic Procedures: a Prospective, Randomized Study Comparing Midazolam and Propofol With Midazolam

Sedative endoscopic examination using sedative premedication has been undertaken to induce conscious sedation for comfortable and painless endoscopy. Midazolam has been most widely used as a sedative premedication because it has lots of advantages, such as a short half-life, a faster onset of sedation and an excellent sedative hypnotic effect. However, midazolam has been used regardless of whether or not alcohol although using midazolam in chronic alcoholics is related to paradoxical reaction, characterized by increased talkativeness, emotional release, excitement, and excessive movement. In recent years, propofol has been used safety and effectively in sedative GI endoscopy because of its potent hypnotic effect and its ultrashort pharmacokinetic profile. Therefore, The present study was conducted to compare the safety and efficacy of BPS (propofol in combination with midazolam) with conventional sedation (midazolam) in chronic alcoholic patients undergoing diagnostic GI endoscopic procedures.

What participants receive

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

  • Midazolam plus propofolDrug

    In both study arms, patients who were 20-70 years of age received an initial intravenous bolus of 0.05mg/kg of midazolam, while patients ≥71 years of age received an initial intravenous dose of 1mg of midazolam. After 2min following this initial dose of midazolam, the conventional sedation group received additional boluses as needed of 1 to 2 mg of midazolam at the discretion of the endoscopist, to target moderate sedation. The BPS group received an initial 0.5mg/kg bolus of intravenous propofol at 2min after midazolam administration. Subsequent incremental boluses of 10 to 20 mg of propofol were allowed to be given at the discretion of the endoscopist every 30s to target moderate sedation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Satisfaction of endoscopists, nurses and patients

    endoscopists and nurses - about 5 minutes after the end of the procedure / patients - upon meeting discharge criteria (modified Aldrete score), an expected average of 20min

    Measured: about 5 minutes after the end of the procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. completion rate of endoscopy

    Measured: about 5 minutes after the end of procedure

  2. number of participants with complications

    hypoxemia (SpO2<90%), hypotension (SBP<90mmHg), bradycardia (HR<50/min)

    Measured: participants will be followed during the procedure and recovery time, an expected average of 20 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Midazolam plus propofol and Midazolam in people with Chronic Alcoholism, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 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 South Korea. 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 was stopped early (reason given: because of difficulties for participants enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Satisfaction of endoscopists, nurses and patients (time frame: about 5 minutes after the end of the procedure). 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 28 Nov 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
