Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Sedation Problems
Registration Number
NCT05793658
Lead Sponsor
Al Jedaani Hospital
Brief Summary

Although appropriate sedation is recommended during colonoscopy, patients are at risk for adverse events e.g hypoventilation and hypoxemia due to inadvertent oversedation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of additional quantitative capnography monitoring ( respiratory rate )in management of patient undergoing colonoscopy under sedation in preventing or reducing the incidence of adverse events and also determine when to start the procedure and when to give and not to give increments of sedative drugs during the procedure.
