Registration Number
NCT03172078
Lead Sponsor
National Taiwan University Hospital
Brief Summary

To evaluate the impacts of target-control infusion (TCI) and bispectral index (BIS) monitoring during advanced endoscopic procedure.

Detailed Description

Anesthesia requirements for advanced endoscopic procedures are approaching those of specialized surgical interventions. Although many other sedative agents are used prior to and during endoscopy, none approach propofol in terms of desirable properties. The risk of propofol sedation for interventional procedures such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and therapeutic endoscopy are among the highest for any sedated endoscopic procedure. The reasons are many: the intensity of stimulation encountered during these procedures is similar to many minor surgeries; the airway management is complex and requires constant attention; the incidence of hypoxemia is high, and the time available for recognition and management is limited. In order to reap the benefits of advanced endoscopic procedures, anesthesiologists must rise to the challenge. This requires a dedicated anesthetic team practicing safe, efficient, and effective sedation techniques for advanced endoscopic procedures. Ongoing research into novel infusion methods can add safety to the existing sedation techniques and address some of the concerns related to sedative quality. This is a randomized controlled and prospective study. To evaluate the benefits when we use target-controlled infusion of propofol (TCI) with/without bispectral index monitoring in patients undergoing advanced endoscopic procedure. The primary outcome is the total amount of propofol. The secondary outcomes are patients' and endoscopists' satisfaction, sedative-related adverse events, recovery time.

Quality of sedation2 days

The satisfaction of the endoscopist with the sedation is evaluated by a case-by-case questionnaire. Four classes of response: excellent, good, acceptable and poor, were defined for the overall evaluation with the safety of endoscopy procedure, patient cooperation and fluency of the procedure in the opinion of the endoscopist. Patients' satisfaction includes their immediate evaluation of side effects such as post procedure dizziness, nausea/vomiting, or pain recall evaluation in the recovery room. Telephone interviews are performed to ascertain the patients' overall satisfaction evaluation and of the procedure with four classes of responses: excellent, good, acceptable and poor.

sedation-related adverse eventsduring the endoscopic procedure

hypotension, hypoxemia

Recovery: open eye, conscious clear, discharge timewithin 2 hrs

Recovery data include time from end of endoscopy until eye opening on command and time from end of endoscopy until leaving the recovery room based on Aldrete score ≧ 9.
