About this study

Official title: Optimal Procedural Sequence in Same-day Bidirectional Endoscopy With Moderate Sedation and Carbon Dioxide Insufflation: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study

The Same-day bidirectional endoscopy (BDE) is commonly used in clinical practice. However, the optimal sequence of performing a same-day BDE has not been well-established.The primary aims of this study are to compare the sedative doses and patient discomfort between the study groups who received a colonoscopy followed by and EGD (colonoscopy-EGD), or an EGD followed by a colonoscopy (EGD-colonoscopy) during a same-day BDE. The secondary aim is to assess colonoscopy performance, including the cecal intubation time and adenoma detection rate between the two endoscopic sequences.

Being tested
EGD and colonoscopy

What participants receive

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

  • EGD and colonoscopyProcedure or surgery

    Cold forceps biopsy, cold snare polypectomy, and/or hot snare polypectomy will be performed for stomach and/or colon polyps during EGD and colonoscopy examinations will be performed whenever indicated.

Study groups in NCT02708212
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
EGD-colonoscopy groupActive comparatorIn this group, patients receiving an EGD followed by a colonoscopy during a same-day bidirectional endoscopy. Patients receive moderate conscious sedation with fentanyl and midazolam for the procedures. Gastric polypectomy will be provided when gastric polyps are found during an EGD study. Colon polypectomy will be provided when colon polyps are found during a colonoscopy study. Patients' heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation will be recorded every 60 seconds during the endoscopic examinations. Patients' tolerability to EGD and colonoscopy examinations will be scaled by patients and endoscopists after the completion of the examinations. Aldrete scores are recorded15 minutes and 25 minutes after entering the recovery room. The recovery time will also be recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sedative Doses of Fentanyl

    During bidirectional endoscopy, the total doses of fentanyl were recorded and compared between the two study groups.

    Measured: On the day of endoscopic procedures.

  2. Sedative Doses of Midazolam

    During bidirectional endoscopy, the total doses of midazolam were recorded and compared between the two study groups.

    Measured: On the day of bidirectional endoscopy procedures

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Duration of BDE Examinations

    The overall duration of both EGD and colonoscopy examinations was recorded and compared.

    Measured: On the day of bidirectional endoscopy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EGD and colonoscopy in people with Endoscopy and Moderate Sedation, run by Evergreen General Hospital, Taiwan.

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 1 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 1 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Dec 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Sedative Doses of Fentanyl (time frame: On the day of endoscopic procedures.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Feb 2017.
