Trial summary

During anesthesia, EEG shows specific and significant changes according to the depth of anesthesia and the drugs used. Endoscopic procedures like gastroscopies or colonoscopies are usually done on an outpatient basis using essentially propofol for sedation or anesthesia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: EEG Analysis During Anesthesia for Day Case Gastroscopy and/or Colonoscopy

During anesthesia, EEG shows specific and significant changes according to the depth of anesthesia and the drugs used. Endoscopic procedures like gastroscopies or colonoscopies are usually done on an outpatient basis using essentially propofol for sedation or anesthesia. Preliminary reports have shown that the depth of anesthesia during these procedures may be very deep resulting even in a burst suppression pattern on the EEG.

In this study, frontal EEG will be recorded continuously using a Root - Sedline device (Masimo, US). Anesthesiologists will be free to use the medications and dosage they judge appropriate. The attending anesthesiologist will be blinded to the EEG. Medications and dosages will be recorded, as well as processed EEG data from the Sedline and the raw EEG. Primary outcome is the % of time spend in specific range of patient state index (PSI 0-10; 10-20; 20-30; 30-40; 40-50; 5-60; 60-70; 70-80; 80-90; 90-100) as well as the % of time spent in burst suppression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EEG analysis in people with Endoscopy of Stomach (Procedure) and Colonoscopy (Procedure), run by Erasme University Hospital at 1 site in Belgium.

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 6 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 18 Mar 2026. 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 Belgium. 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?

Burst suppression (time frame: 90 min). 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 NCT07073274, 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 18 Mar 2026.
