NCT02062177
Lead Sponsor
Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele
Brief Summary

Many studies address safety of non-anesthesiologist propofol sedation (NAPS) for gastrointestinal endoscopy. Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) is a sophisticated tool for providing optimal sedation regimen and avoiding under or oversedation. The objective of the study is to compare standard moderate sedation during upper endoscopy and colonoscopy versus propofol NAPS.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Endoscopist's Satisfaction (Visual Analog Scale) About Sedationat the end of the exam

Visual Analog Scale from 0 to100 (0=dissatisfaction - 100=complete satisfaction) will be used to assess the technical difficulty of examination and the satisfaction with sedation of patient experienced by endoscopist

Patient's Satisfaction (Visual Analog Scale) About Sedation Before Dischargebefore discharge

When completely awake, patients will be asked to rate the degree of pain/discomfort and the degree of satisfaction about quality of sedation from 0 to100 (0=dissatisfaction - 100=complete satisfaction)

Patient's Satisfaction (Visual Analog Scale) About Sedation 24-72 Hours After Procedureat 24-72 hours after procedure

Patients will be contacted by telephone 24-72 hours after discharge and asked about their satisfaction about the quality of sedation, rated on a verbal rating scale, from 0 to 100 (0=dissatisfaction; 100=complete satisfaction)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safetyone day

Number of patients with adverse events (hypotension, bradycardia, hypoxemia,...)

Time (Minutes) to Dischargeability of Patient From Endoscopic Unitone day

After endoscopy, patients will be transferred to recovery area and evaluated every 5 minutes until they will be ready to be discharged from the Endoscopy Unit. Recovery will be assessed using the Modified Aldrete Scoring System; patients will be considered fit for discharge with a Modified Aldrete Scoring System score of 18 or more, stable vital signs and without nausea, vomiting, or itching.
