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.
