Trial summary

Feedback: during the COVID-19 epidemic, access to operating theaters was restricted so that anesthetists and nurse anesthetists could reinforce the resuscitation workforce. The MEOPA was used as an alternative to sedation, allowing colonoscopies to be carried out, colon polyps and colorectal cancers to be detected. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Quality of Colonoscopies Under Kalinox During the COVID 19 Epidemic

Feedback: during the COVID-19 epidemic, access to operating theaters was restricted so that anesthetists and nurse anesthetists could reinforce the resuscitation workforce.

The MEOPA was used as an alternative to sedation, allowing colonoscopies to be carried out, colon polyps and colorectal cancers to be detected.

Read the detailed description

Colonoscopy is a major procedure for screening for cancers and diagnosing colorectal lesions. In France, general anesthesia remains the most widely used sedation method for colonoscopy. Faced with several constraints such as difficulty of access to the operating room, length of hospitalization and contraindications to general anesthesia, several sedation methods have been adopted.

The best known is sedation by MEOPA (equimolar mixture of oxygen protoxide of nitrogen) marketed under the name of Kalinox. It is offered as a second-line treatment after general anesthesia.

Since March 2020, the COVID-19 health crisis has forced us to change our care. Faced with restricted access to the operating room (anesthetists and nurse anesthetists requisitioned to participate in the care of patients in intensive care), colonoscopy under MEOPA was offered to patients who could have benefited from general anesthesia before the crisis. This monocentric retrospective descriptive study at the CHSF (Centre Hospitalier Sud Francilien) will make it possible to assess the quality of colonoscopies performed under MEOPA in the first line.

This is a feedback, the MEOPA having allowed us to continue and maintain the performance of screening colonoscopies during the COVID 19 epidemic.

What participants receive

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

  • colonoscopyProcedure or surgery

    Also called MEOPA

    A colonoscopy is an exam used to examine the colon and rectum. During a colonoscopy, a long, flexible tube is inserted into the rectum. A tiny video camera at the tip of the tube allows the doctor to view the inside of the entire colon.

What is being measured

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

  1. percentage of complete colonoscopies

    percentage

    Measured: at day 0

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adenoma detection rate.

    percentage

    Measured: at day 0

  2. Polyp detection rate.

    percentage

    Measured: at day 0

  3. Colorectal cancer detection rate

    percentage

    Measured: at day 0

  4. Quality of colonic preparation (Boston score)

    Breakdown into 3 groups: good (Boston Bowel Preparation SCALE 7, 8, 9), bad (Boston Bowel Preparation SCALE 4, 5, 6) and unsatisfactory (Boston Bowel Preparation SCALE 1, 2, 3)

    Measured: at day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer, run by Centre Hospitalier Sud Francilien at 1 site in France.

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 2 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 15 Sep 2022. 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 France. 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?

percentage of complete colonoscopies (time frame: at day 0). 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 15 Sep 2022.
