Frailty and Low Oxygen Levels During Older Adults' Bile Duct Procedures
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how frailty (weakness and reduced ability to recover from stress) affects the risk of low oxygen levels during a common procedure to clear blocked bile ducts in adults 65 and older. Understanding this connection may help doctors better prepare and monitor high-risk patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You need an elective ERCP procedure (a procedure to clear blocked bile ducts) with sedation anesthesia
- Your overall health status is classified as ASA II, III, or IV (mild to severe health conditions)
- Your procedure is expected to take less than 60 minutes
- You have continuous oxygen level monitoring during your procedure with complete recorded data
- You do not have a severe lung condition requiring long-term oxygen therapy at home

This trial compares two different ways of delivering oxygen through your nose during an endoscopy procedure (ERCP, which examines your bile ducts and pancreas). The study tests whether one method keeps your oxygen levels safer or more comfortable than the other.
This study looks at frailty in older adults (70+) who are having an outpatient digestive endoscopy. It aims to understand how frailty affects the procedure and recovery.
This study looks at “frailty,” or how well the body may handle stress, around the time of surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to plan care around surgery.
This study looks at how frailty affects the chance of low blood pressure after anesthesia is given for surgery. It may help doctors plan safer care for older or weaker patients.
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 trial tests whether a lower or higher oxygen concentration during surgery can help protect lung function in older adults. It focuses on people 65 and older having laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.
