About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of Sedation-related Complications During Gastroenterological Procedures

Applications of non-operating room anesthesia for diagnosis and treatment are required in a variety of disciplines nowadays. Although it is not painful, sedation may be required in the gastrointestinal unit during procedures that put the patient through discomfort and stress, in order to reduce anxiety and provide analgesia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sedation used in our hospital's gastrointestinal endoscopy unit in light of intraoperative hemodynamic variables and perioperative problems. There are studies about non-operating room anesthesia in the literature, but there aren't many of them in our country, and none of them include a number of participants. The size of this study will exceed any study in Turkey.

Read the detailed description

All patients will be informed about the study before the gastroenterological procedure and the consent form will be signed by the patients who want to participate in the study. Demographic data of patients (age, weight, height), ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) classification, allergies, comorbidities (hypertension, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease, COPD), Mallampati scores, history of covid, history of covid vaccine, and history of previous anesthesia will be questioned and recorded before the gastroenterological procedure. Afterward, participants will be taken to the gastroenterology intervention room and standard monitorisation (Electrocardiogram, noninvasive blood pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation, and end-tidal CO2) will be performed. The measurements will be repeated every 5 minutes following the induction of anesthesia and recorded. Administered anesthetics and their doses at the induction and maintenance of sedation will be recorded. The person recording the data will not be the patient's primary anesthesiologist. The data will be recorded by a second anesthesiologist who will not interfere with the medical treatment and management of the patient. The presence of perioperative and postoperative complications (such as hypotension, hypertension, bradycardia, apnea, hypoxia, agitation, postoperative nausea and vomiting) will be observed by the second anesthesiologist and recorded. Hypertension is defined as an elevation in blood pressure more than 20% compared to perioperative values. Hypotension is defined as degradation in blood pressure more than 20% compared to perioperative values. Bradycardia is defined as less than 50 heartbeats per minute. Peripheral oxygen saturation below 90 will be referred to as hypoxia. Apnea is defined as "no respiratory effort for more than 20 seconds" or "a halt of breathing for more than 10 seconds. There will be no intervention for the patients. Patients will not be divided into groups or randomized. The data will be recorded by an impartial observer.

What is being measured

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

  1. The relationship between different anesthetic drugs and complications will be investigated

    During gastroenterological procedures, drugs such as propofol, ketamine, fentanyl, lidocaine, and midazolam are used in different combinations. Which anesthetic medicines induce complications like hypertension, hypotension, hypoxia, apnea, bradycardia, nausea, vomiting, and agitation to be more noticeable will be investigated in our study. Hypertension is defined as an elevation in blood pressure more than 20% compared to perioperative values. Hypotension is defined as degradation in blood pressure more than 20% compared to perioperative values. Bradycardia is defined as less than 50 heartbeats per minute. Peripheral oxygen saturation below 90 will be referred to as hypoxia. Apnea is defined as "no respiratory effort for more than 20 seconds" or "a halt of breathing for more than 10 seconds. For statistical analyses, a binomial logistic regression model will be established to determine the risk factors for complications according to drug type and complications.

    Measured: 8 months

  2. The relationship between comorbidities and complications

    Patients who will undergo a gastroenterological procedure may have different comorbidities such as hypertension, chronic arterial disease, diabetes, COPD, and chronic kidney disease. We want to investigate which comorbidities are more likely to result in particular complications in our study. For statistical analyses, a binomial logistic regression model will be established to determine the risk factors for complications according to comorbidities.

    Measured: 8 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of sedation related complications in gastroenterology unit

    All the complications will be recorded and the most common ones will be revealed.

    Measured: 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Complication of Anesthesia and Sedation-related Complications, run by Gazi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 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 12 Mar 2025. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

The relationship between different anesthetic drugs and complications will be investigated (time frame: 8 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 Mar 2025.
