Trial summary

Endoscopic examinations and particularly long-lasting interventions can be uncomfortable for patients. Pain and vasovagal reactions are common. Therefore, the implementation is generally recommended under sedation and also carried out in practice here. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Values of Enhanced Monitoring by EEG Recording ( Narcotrend ) as an Adjunct to Standard Monitoring for Sedation in Colonoscopy

Endoscopic examinations and particularly long-lasting interventions can be uncomfortable for patients. Pain and vasovagal reactions are common. Therefore, the implementation is generally recommended under sedation and also carried out in practice here.

The vital signs monitoring to avoid complications is dictated by current national guidelines. Necessary measures of monitoring include pulse oximetry and blood pressure measurements. In patients with severe heart disease an ECG recording should be used additionally. Moreover, the guidelines require that the sedation is clinically monitored continuously to avoid an unwanted anesthetic stage. Such evaluation, however, is often difficult under clinical conditions and even counterproductive, since a constant response and tactile stimulation of the patient (to check clinically the depth level of sedation ), interrupts endoscopic complex intervention. However, clinical most relevant aspect is the avoidance of unrecognized transition of patients from the stage of deep sedation in an anesthetic stage.

Current recommendations do not take into account new study results from a gender perspective, which showed that women and men need a different wake-up time using the EEG derivation means by using the Narcotrend after total intravenous anesthesia, which may be due to different total doses of sedatives needed. However, the research group has been demonstrated in a previous study that most likely caused by the use of EEG monitoring (Narcotrend) an effective adaptation of sedation, in particular a more rapid recovery time by a lower dose of the administered sedative for a continuous sedation stage D0-D2 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-(ERCP).

In the presented study the investigators evaluate the extent of gender differences in the wake-up time after sedation with propofol during colonoscopy when using EEG monitoring.

Endoscopic examinations and particularly long-lasting interventions can be uncomfortable for patients. Pain and vasovagal reactions are common. Therefore, the implementation is generally recommended under sedation and also carried out in practice here.

In interventional and longer lasting interventions (for example colonoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography, ERCP) as opposed to purely diagnostic examinations is often deep sedation.Use of propofol in terms of sedation efficacy and the wake-up time or quality is superior to the use of benzodiazepines (plus opiates) , while patient safety is the same.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Electroencephalography and Propofol, run by Ruhr University of Bochum at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

mean recovery time after propofol sedation for colonoscopy using the EEG recording EEG monitoring at stage D0 to D2 (time frame: Immediately after the procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02687568, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Mar 2016.
