Sedation Methods for Bile Duct Drainage Procedures
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares different sedation (sleep) methods used during a procedure to drain blocked bile ducts. Researchers want to see which sedation approach gives patients the best experience and fastest recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a scheduled bile duct drainage procedure (not an emergency)
- You must be able to fast (not eat or drink) for at least 6 hours before the procedure
- You cannot have severe heart valve disease or advanced heart failure
- You must be able to understand and sign consent forms and complete study questionnaires
- You cannot be allergic to propofol, remifentanil, ketamine, ondansetron, or deksketoprofen (sedation and pain medicines used in the study)

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 study is looking at how three different sedative medicines (midazolam, dexmedetomidine, and esketamine) affect brain activity during gallbladder surgery. It aims to find the safest and most precise way to keep you asleep and comfortable.
This study compares two medicines (esketamine and sufentanil) used to keep you relaxed and comfortable during an ERCP procedure. It is for people who are in generally good health and need sedation for this scope test.
This trial compares two ways to keep you comfortable during a scope procedure (like colonoscopy or endoscopy): one using opioid pain medications, and one without. Researchers want to see if avoiding opioids is safe and effective.
This trial tests if a sedative called dexmedetomidine can lower the amount of anesthetic (sevoflurane) needed to block body responses during keyhole gallbladder surgery. If it works, it may make anesthesia safer for patients.
This trial compares two drug combinations used to keep you comfortable and relaxed during a bronchoscopy. One uses propofol with pethidine, the other midazolam with pethidine. The goal is to find which approach works better.
