Comparing two sedation methods for older adults having ERCP
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of keeping you comfortable and safe during an ERCP procedure: deeper sedation with a breathing tube versus deep sedation without a breathing tube. It aims to find which method causes fewer side effects in older adults.

This study compares different sedation approaches for ERCP, a procedure that treats problems in the bile ducts and pancreas. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
This study looks at how a patient's anxiety level before an ERCP procedure affects how well they tolerate it and the results. Researchers want to understand if feeling anxious beforehand changes the experience so they can better support future patients.
This trial compares two ways to keep you comfortable during a scope procedure (like colonoscopy or endoscopy): one using opioid pain medications, and one without. Researchers want to see if avoiding opioids is safe and effective.
This study tests a new way to deliver oxygen during a sedated ERCP, using a thin tube placed above the voice box instead of a breathing tube. It aims to see if this method is safe and practical for people having this procedure.
This trial tests a new breathing device (called a combo endoscopy oropharyngeal airway) to help keep your airway open during a sedated ERCP procedure. It may improve safety and comfort for people having this exam.
This study compares two medicines (esketamine and sufentanil) used to keep you relaxed and comfortable during an ERCP procedure. It is for people who are in generally good health and need sedation for this scope test.
