Trial summary

Nurse-administered propofol sedation has become the standard procedure for colonoscopy in Germany. Although patient satisfaction with this method is high, there is little data about the satisfaction of the examiner and factors that might negatively influence this satisfaction.

About this study

Nurse-administered propofol sedation has become the standard procedure for colonoscopy in Germany. Although patient satisfaction with this method is high, there is little data about the satisfaction of the examiner and factors that might negatively influence this satisfaction. Often due to the fact that the sedated patient usually expresses pain by movements of the body and paralinguistic sounds the examination has to pause until the next propofol bolus induces a deeper sedation. In order to measure the correlation of examiner satisfaction and negative factors the investigators initiated this prospective observational study. During this study examiner satisfaction and the correlation with observer reported pain (movements and paralinguistic sounds) will be measured. Additionally different biopotentials (electromyography, skin conductance level, body temperature, pulse) of the patient will be recorded during the examination and feature pattern will be correlated to the observer reported pain in order to detect pain before the expression of pain leads to a pause in the colonoscopy examination. Other factors that might influence examiner satisfaction, like duration to reach the caecum and duration of polypectomy will additionally be evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation and pain experienced during colonoscopy

    Correlation between Clinician Satisfaction with Sedation Instrument (CSSI) and observer reported pain (movements and paralinguistic sounds) during sedation

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Prediction of observer reported pain by biopotential feature pattern

    Prediction of observer reported pain events (movements and paralinguistic sounds) by biopotential feature pattern.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation (CSSI) and sedation depth

    Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation (CSSI) and sedation depth measured by Modified Observer's assessment of Alertness/Sedation Score

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation (CSSI) and frequency of sedation use

    Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation (CSSI) and frequency of sedation use measured in relation to total examination duration.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation (CSSI) and resected polyp count

    Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation (CSSI) and resected polyp count

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation (CSSI) and total polyp resection time

    Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation (CSSI) and total polyp resection time

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation (CSSI) and time to reach caecum

    Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation (CSSI) and time to reach caecum

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation (CSSI) and years of experience of assisting nurse

    Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation (CSSI) and years of experience of assisting nurse

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bowel Disease, run by University of Ulm at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 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 12 May 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 Germany. 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?

Correlation between clinician satisfaction with sedation and pain experienced during colonoscopy (time frame: 1 day). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03860779, 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 12 May 2020.
