Incidence of Recall After Procedural Sedation With Propofol in the Emergency Department (MEMOPROPO)

The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of recall in patients managed in emergency department with a procedural sedation protocol using propofol in a population of 250 .

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Fractures Reduction; Joint Dislocation Reduction

Detailed Description

After procedural sedation for fracture or joint dislocation reduction using propofol, adult patients recall will be assessed with a standardised form. This recall assessment will be realised 2 hours (+/- 15 minutes) after the procedural sedation and the day after.

The primary outcome measure will be the recall incidence 2 hours (+/- 15 minutes) after a procedural sedation. A secondary outcome will be the recall incidence one day after the procedural sedation.

The recall will be defined by a positive answer to the third question of the Sandin form (Lancet. 2000;355(9205):707-11).
