Testing two common anesthesia options during endoscopy
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You are scheduled to have an endoscopic procedure at CUH with anesthesia.
- Your health status is ASA 3 or higher (meaning significant medical conditions).
- You have a recent ejection fraction result available (a heart pumping measure).
- You do not have a known allergy or serious past reaction to propofol, etomidate, or their ingredients.
- You can consent yourself, or a legally approved decision-maker can consent if you cannot. You are not incarcerated and are not pregnant (or you agree to required pregnancy testing).

This trial is testing if giving propofol sedation in small bursts or as a steady drip works better for people having an upper endoscopy (a camera down the throat). The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to help you stay comfortable during the procedure.
This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
This study compares two common anesthesia medicines (etomidate and propofol) for patients having planned coronary artery bypass surgery. The goal is to see which medication works better for your heart and recovery.
This trial compares two methods of giving sedation during a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). It looks at how each method affects breathing, recovery, and brain activity.
This trial tests whether a mix of two sedative drugs (etomidate and propofol) is safer than using propofol alone for elderly patients having abdominal surgery. It aims to find which approach leads to fewer side effects during and after the procedure.
This trial tests a new sedation medicine (Methoxyethyl Etomidate Hydrochloride) for people having an upper endoscopy or colonoscopy. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe for routine procedures.
