Heart risks during painless stomach scope in frail elderly
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether older, frail patients have heart problems during a painless stomach scope (gastroscopy). It aims to find safer ways to give sedation for these patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether extra brain monitoring during and after major abdominal surgery helps older patients recover better. The monitoring tracks brain function to guide anesthesia and care, which might reduce confusion or other problems after surgery.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia through an IV during surgery to keep you asleep, and looks at how they affect your recovery and pain control after surgery. It is for older adults having non-heart surgery that will last at least one hour.
This study tests a new way to give anesthesia during painless upper and lower GI exams by using a special monitor that tracks your body's response to pain. The goal is to make the procedure more comfortable and safer for you.
This study compares different anesthesia methods for older adults who are frail, to find which approach is safer and leads to better outcomes. If you are 65 or older and considered frail, this trial may help improve care for people like you.
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 study compares two types of anesthesia for older, frail patients having laparoscopic or robotic surgery on the abdomen or pelvis. It aims to see if spinal anesthesia (numbing the lower body) might be safer or help recovery compared to general anesthesia (being fully asleep).
