Testing two common anesthesia options during endoscopy
This trial compares two IV anesthesia medicines (propofol and etomidate) during endoscopic procedures. It may help your care team choose the safest, most effective anesthesia approach for patients who need anesthesia for endoscopy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your health status is ASA 3 or higher (meaning significant medical conditions).
- You have a recent ejection fraction result available (a heart pumping measure).
