Predicting blood pressure and oxygen issues during routine endoscopy with propofol
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people may develop low blood pressure or low oxygen levels while sedated with propofol during a routine endoscopy. It aims to help doctors better identify who might be at risk, so they can plan safer sedation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be scheduled for a diagnostic endoscopy (a scope test) of the upper or lower digestive tract.
- You will receive propofol as the main sedative medicine.
- You must be in a generally good health status (classified as ASA I to III by your doctor).
- You must be able to give informed consent (or have a legally authorized representative give consent).
- You cannot be having a therapeutic procedure like removing polyps, treating bleeding, or more complex scopes (ERCP, EUS, EMR, ESD).
- You cannot be allergic to propofol, be pregnant, or require emergency treatment for your airway.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how common low oxygen levels are after a sedated upper endoscopy (a scope test). If you participate, you will be monitored in the recovery area to see if your oxygen dips, which can help improve care.
This study tests whether the angle of your head while you are sedated for a gastrointestinal endoscopy affects your oxygen levels. It may help reduce breathing problems during the procedure.
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen through a special nasal tube (high-flow nasal cannula) helps patients with COPD breathe more safely during a sedated endoscopy procedure, compared to usual oxygen delivery. It aims to reduce breathing problems during the procedure and improve overall safety.
This study tests a special breathing tube (an oropharyngeal airway) used during a sedated GI endoscopy (a scope test of your stomach or bowel) to see if it helps keep oxygen levels normal while you are sedated. It may help prevent drops in oxygen during the procedure.
This study tests a new way to monitor your breathing during a sedated endoscopy. A small device measures the carbon dioxide in your breath, which may help doctors catch low oxygen early and prevent complications.
This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen therapy can prevent low oxygen levels in patients at risk during a digestive endoscopy with deep sedation. It might help if you have obesity, stable lung or heart disease, or sleep apnea.
