Ketamine sedation for ERCP procedure
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using ketamine as a sleep/sedation medicine during ERCP (a scope procedure to check/clear bile or pancreatic ducts) is safe and effective. If you’re scheduled for ERCP and can consent, this study may help doctors improve sedation options for patients like you.

This study compares two sedative medications, esketamine and sufentanil, to find which one works better and is safer for people having an ERCP procedure. The trial aims to help patients feel comfortable during the procedure and recover well afterward.
This study compares different ways to sedate patients during an endoscopic procedure called ERCP, which helps diagnose and treat problems in the bile ducts. It aims to find the safest and most comfortable sedation method for people aged 60 and older.
This trial tests a sedative called remimazolam for people with serious health conditions who need an ERCP, a procedure to examine the bile ducts. It aims to find a safer sedation option for those at higher risk.
This study tests if a radiologist can safely give deep sedation medicine (ketamine) for certain procedures instead of general anesthesia. It might help you avoid general anesthesia while still being comfortable.
This study compares two types of sedation for endoscopic procedures like ERCP, gastroscopy, or colonoscopy. One uses opioids, the other does not, to see which is safer and more comfortable.
This study tests whether using transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS), a gentle, non-needle form of acupuncture, can improve sedation during ERCP procedures. It may help reduce the amount of sedation medication needed and make the procedure more comfortable for you.
