Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Propofol sedation with opioids is used for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Combination of sedatives and opioids is associated with increased morbidity/mortality. Delivery of only propofol using a patient-controlled delivery system (patient-controlled sedation, PCS) could be an alternative for this purpose. Comparative studies with PCS for ERCP are few. Therefore, the main objective of this randomized controlled trial was to compare propofol PCS to sedation managed by nurse anaesthetists during ERCP.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Propofol sedation by nurse anaesthetist

Nurse anaesthetists managed infusion of propofol 10 mg/ml at doses of 0.2 - 0.8 ml/kg during ERCP. The target of moderate sedation was achieved within 5 minutes from start of the sedation.

Drug: Propofol sedation by nurse anaesthestist
Propofol (10 mg/ml) is a short-acting, intravenously administered hypnotic agent used for light-moderate-deep sedation. Patient-controlled sedation: self-administration of propofol boluses of 5 mg with zero lock-out time. Administration time for the pump was 12 sec, equivalent to maximum delivery of 25 mg of propofol per minute. Propofol sedation by nurse anaesthetists:

Active Comparator: Patient-controlled propofol sedation

Self-administration of propofol via patient-controlled sedation pump (CME...). No programmed lock-out period, no dose limit or background infusion. 5 mg propofol/effectuated demand from the patients. Capacity of the pump was 6 possible doses per minute. Before start of ERCP the patients were allowed to sedate themselves to a sense of heavy tiredness.

Drug: Patient-controlled propofol sedation
Propofol (10 mg/ml) is a short-acting, intravenously administered hypnotic agent used for light-moderate-deep sedation. Self-administration of propofol via patient-controlled sedation pump (CME T-34L PCA). No programmed lock-out period, no dose limit or background infusion. 5 mg propofol/effectuated demand from the patients. Capacity of the pump was 6 possible doses per minute. Before start of ERCP the patients were allowed to sedate themselves to a sense of heavy tiredness.

No Intervention: Midazolam sedation by the ERCP-team

Midazolam doses for sedation during ERCP. Initial dose of 2-3 mg and after ERCP start, 1-2 mg as additional doses. Maximum total dose 6-8 mg. ERCP performing doctor is responsible for dose ordination.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. treatability [one day (per-procedural)]

    Registration of number of failures (where procedure is interrupted as a result of inadequate sedation). Comparison data between propofol PCS and nurse anaesthetists sedation using propofol and control group (midazolam).

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Vital signs [one and a half year]

    Vital signs and interventions of nurse anaesthetists. Data on heart rate, blood pressure, peripheral oxygen saturatuion, respiratory rate, delivery of oxygen, airway obstruction assessment, airway manipulation.
