Different Anesthetic Technique For ERCP

May 22, 2023 updated by: The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University

Deep Sedation and General Anesthesia for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography

Providing the appropriate anesthetic technique for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in remote locations can be challenging. The aim of this study was therefore to prospectively assess and compare the feasibility of monitored anesthesia care (MAC) with propofol based deep sedation, standard general anesthesia and general anesthesia without neuromuscular blockade in patients undergoing ERCP.

Study Overview

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

ERCP is identified as one of the most invasive endoscopic procedures, during which patients may experience anxiety, discomfort and suffer different degree of pain. So, anesthesia and analgesia are essential for this invasive procedure, especially therapeutic ERCPs. Thus, we compared the efficacy of using monitored anesthesia care (MAC) with deep sedation versus general anesthesia (GA) to perform this procedure and the incidence of complications associated with these methods of anesthesia.

Previous studies have concluded that intubation is possible without the use of neuromuscular blockade. We assume that the use of propofol and adjuvants short-acting opioids may provide adequate conditions for tracheal intubation. It was also hypothesized that it may also be useful in facilitating ERCP under general anesthesia without neuromuscular blockade.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Other: Monitored Anesthesia Care
Patients in this arm will undergo an ERCP using monitored anesthesia care (MAC) with propofol based deep sedation.
Procedure: Monitored Anesthesia Care
MAC was induced and maintained via the continuous infusion of propofol AND remifentanil using a target-controlled infusion (TCI) pump. The appropriate level of sedation was 65 to 80 points on BIS. The adjunctive sedatives (eg, fentanyl, midazolam) was at the discretion of the anesthesia team.
Other: General Anesthesia
Patients in this arm will receive standard general anesthesia with neuromuscular blockade.
Procedure: General Anesthesia
Induction was done with propofol (2 mg/kg) , cis-atracurium (0.15 mg/kg) , and fentanyl (5μg/kg). After orotracheal intubation, general anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane (1-1.3MAC) , propofol (3mg/kg/h), remifentanil (0.05-0.2 ug/kg/min) and repetitive doses of 0.1mg atracurium per kilogram were administered. After the procedure was completed, neostigmine mixed with atropine was used as a reversal agent for the neuromuscular blockade, and the patient was extubated when the recovery from anesthesia was confirmed.The BIS was 45 to 60 points .
Other: General Anesthesia Without Neuromuscular Blockade
Patients in this arm will receive nasotracheal intubation without neuromuscular blockade.
Procedure: Induction Without Neuromuscular Blockade
Anaesthesia was induced with propofol (2 mg/kg), remifentanil(3 ug/kg) and 2% lidocaine (1 mg/kg). Nasotracheal intubation was performed 60 s after the administration. After intubation, general anesthesia was sevoflurane (1-1.3MAC) , propofol (3mg/kg/h), remifentanil (0.05-0.2 ug/kg/min). After the procedure was completed, the patient was extubated when the recovery from anesthesia was confirmed.The BIS was 45 to 60 points .
