Sedation for high-altitude patients during gastroscopy
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two different sedation medicines (etomidate combined with propofol vs. propofol alone) to see which works better for people living at high altitudes who are having a gastroscopy. It aims to find a safer, more comfortable option for sedation in this group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are scheduled for a pain-free gastroscopy (a tube test of your stomach) that will take no more than 30 minutes.
- You live at a high altitude (for example, in a mountainous region).
- You do not have any heart, lung, liver, or kidney disease.
- You do not have increased pressure in your skull or a current upper respiratory infection (like a cold).
