Trial summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of airway management (a set of medical procedures performed to prevent airway blockage and thus ensure an open path between a patient's lungs and the atmosphere) during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [(ERCP), a procedure commonly used to treat conditions… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Patient Positioning and Airway Management During Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography ERCP and the Effect on Airway Complications and Procedure Outcomes in Patients With Risks for Anesthesia Adverse Events

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of airway management (a set of medical procedures performed to prevent airway blockage and thus ensure an open path between a patient's lungs and the atmosphere) during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [(ERCP), a procedure commonly used to treat conditions of the bile ducts and pancreas] and the effect on airway complications (problems), time to biliary cannulation (access into bile duct) and total procedure duration (length of time). Two methods are being compared and studied: 1) general endotracheal anesthesia: an inhalation anesthetic (substance that blocks pain) technique in which anesthetic and respiratory gases pass through a tube placed in the trachea (throat) via the mouth or nose vs 2) deep sedation without endotracheal intubation: local anesthesia together with sedation (drug that produces sleep) and analgesia (drug that treats pain) only.

Being tested
general endotracheal anesthesia, deep sedation without endotracheal intubation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of sedation related adverse events or the need for airway maneuvers

    Measured: approximately one year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Procedure duration

    Measured: intraoperative

  2. Time to cannulation of intended duct system

    Measured: during the procedure

  3. Technical success of ERCP

    Measured: approximately one year

  4. Immediate ERCP adverse events

    Measured: Adverse events within 24 hours of ERCP

  5. Delayed adverse events

    Measured: Adverse events occurring within 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing general endotracheal anesthesia and deep sedation without endotracheal intubation in people with Airway Management, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 1 site in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2018. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of sedation related adverse events or the need for airway maneuvers (time frame: approximately one year). 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 NCT02850887, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Feb 2018.
