Registration Number
NCT04686058
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This was a prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled clinical trial comparing three sedative regimens for outpatient colonoscopy.

Detailed Description

This was a prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled clinical trial comparing target-controlled infusion (TCI) with propofol and patient-controlled sedation (PCS) with propofol, to conventional combination of midazolam and pethidine, in terms of quality and safety of sedation, and patient recovery during outpatient colonoscopy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Recovery time to Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness and Sedation Scale (MOAAS)From time of arrival at the recovery area after completion of colonoscopy, until point of discharge from recovery area, assessed up to 2 hours post arrival at recovery

Recovery of patient from sedation when MOAAS 5 is achieved

Recovery time to ambulationFrom time of arrival at the recovery area after completion of colonoscopy, until the point patient starts to ambulate, assessed up to 2 hours post arrival at recovery

Recovery of patient from sedation when patient starts ambulating

Recovery time to dischargeFrom time of arrival at the recovery area after completion of colonoscopy, until the point patient is deemed fit for discharge home, assessed up to 2 hours post arrival at recovery

Recovery of patient from sedation when patient is deemed fit for discharge home

Endoscopist satisfaction scoreAfter completion of colonoscopy, the endoscopist graded his satisfaction score from the start of colonoscopy, assessed until 2 hours after completion of colonoscopy

After completion of colonoscopy, the endoscopist graded on a scale of 1 to 10, ease of the colonoscopy/procedure (1 = very difficult, 10 = very easy), and level of satisfaction (1 = very dissatisfied, 10 = very satisfied) using a 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS).

Patient satisfaction scorePatient satisfaction score from start of sedation until point of discharge from recovery assessed until 3 hours from the start of sedation

After completion of colonoscopy, the patient graded on a scale of 1 to 10, the level of satisfaction (1 = very dissatisfied, 10 = very satisfied) using a 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS).

Patient willingness to repeat the same sedation techniqueFrom patient arrival to recovery post colonoscopy, area until the point of patient discharge, assessed up to 3 hours after arrival at recovery

Patient responds yes or no. to willingness of having the same sedation during colonoscopy, in the future

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rescue analgesic drug requirementFrom start of sedation, and during the entire duration of colonoscopy, assessed up to 2 hours from the start of sedation

Requirement for rescue analgesic or sedative in addition to study drugs/sedatives, during the entire duration of colonoscopy

Total drug consumptionTotal consumption of all study drugs from the start of sedation, during the entire duration of colonoscopy until completion of colonoscopy, assessed up to 2 hours from the start of sedation

Total consumption of all study drugs from the start of sedation, during the entire duration of colonoscopy until completion of colonoscopy

Ease of colonoscopy scoreduring the entire duration of colonoscopy from the start of colonoscopy, assessed up to 2 hours from the start of colonoscopy

endoscopist graded on a scale of 1 to 10, ease of procedure (1 = very difficult, 10 = very easy)

Recalled events during colonoscopyRecalled events retrieved from patient, from arrival to recovery area until point of discharge home, assessed up to 2 hours from arrival at recovery

The number of recalled events during the entire duration of colonoscopy

Recalled discomfort/ pain during colonoscopyRecalled events of discomfort/pain retrived from the patient, from arrival to recovery area until point of discharge home, assessed up to 2 hours from arrival at recovery

The number of recalled events of discomfor/pain during the entire duration of colonoscopy
