Comparing sedation methods for endoscopic procedures in older adults
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
