Brief Summary

Does Ketamine-Midazolam have a better efficacy and safety profile compared to Midazolam - Pethidine in Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)?

Detailed Description

Ketamine- Midazolom is more efficacious in producing desired sedative state and have a better safety profile as a sedative agent in ERCP compared to Midazolam- Pethidine. The usage of sedative agent in ERCP depends on surgeon's preferences and availability of the drugs. The most commonly used sedatives in ERCP is Midazolam with pethidine. The use of Midazolam , however, is related to:

1. 20-45% failure of sedation during ERCP

2. Cardio-respiratory depression - apnoea: 15.4%, hypotension: 15.7%, bradycardia: 6.8%

Due to the proven efficacy and safety profile of ketamine-midazolam as a sedative agent in procedural sedation, the investigators propose that the use of ketamine-midazolam as a sedative agent in ERCP is more effective and better safety profile when compared to Midazolam- Pethidine. The synergistic effect means to reduce the total dose of midazolam used.

Ketamine - Midazolam armKetamineInitial IV Ketamine of 0.5mg/kg with IV Midazolam 0.02mg/kg given over 1 minute. If depth of sedation not adequate, to give another bolus of IV ketamine 0.25mg/kg after 2 minutes with IV Midazolam 0.01mg/kg. If depth of sedation not adequate, to give another bolus of IV Ketamine 0.25mg/kg after 2 minutes and IV Midazolam 0.01mg/kg. Failure of sedation: inadequate sedation for the intention to treat: patient will be arranged for MAC (monitored anaesthesia care) with anaesthesia team

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To compare the depth of sedationEvaluated at specific timepoints during the procedure whch are: introduction of scope, canulation of bile duct, trawling of stones, removal of stent and removal of scope

The depth of sedation is evaluated using ramsay sedation scale where the scale is 1 to 6, where higher score is better

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the efficacy of Ketamine- Midazolam as a sedative agent in ERCP in terms of sedation failure rate.Evaluated at specific timepoints during the procedure whch are: introduction of scope, canulation of bile duct, during sphincerotomy, removal of stent and removal of scope

Sedation failure rate is defined as inability of the sedation used to adequately sedate a patient for initiation and completion using ramsay sedation scale where the scale is 1-6, where higher score is better.

To compare pre and post procedure mean arterial pressure (MAP)Measured at specific time-pointswhich are: pre-sedation, 2 minutes after initiation of sedation and 5 minutes after the procedure is completed

To detect if there are changes in MAP calculated from participants blood pressure readings

To compare surgeon satisfaction in terms of sedation quality between both arms using a likert scale of 1 to 5 where a higher score is betterSingle point asessment at the end of the procedure

Measured using likert scale

To compare participant satisfaction in terms of procedure experience between both groups using likert scale of 1 to 10 where the higher score is betterSingle point asessment at 2 hours after completion of procedure

Measured using likert scale

To compare the number of participants that developed an adverse event that led to abandonment of procedureEvaluated at specific timepoints during the procedure which are: introduction of scope, canulation of bile duct, during sphincerotomy, trawling of stones, removal of stent and removal of scope

Adverse event by monitoring patient vital signs including blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen saturation and procedure will be abandoned if the parameters reach a pre-set cut-off point.

Systolic blood pressure \<90mmHg or \>180mmHg, Pulse rate of \<60/min or \>150/min and oxygen saturation \<95% despite supplemental oxygen therapy via nasal canula.
