NCT ID: NCT05222048 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Endoscopy Needs of People in Suichang County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, China

Start date: October 12, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

With the improvement of people's health awareness, more and more people realize the importance of endoscopy. Compared with other imaging methods (such as gastrointestinal contrast, abdominal ultrasound, CT, MR, nuclear medicine, etc.), in addition to the diagnosis of diseases, endoscopy also has obvious advantages in obtaining specimens for further pathological examination. However, the pain and discomfort caused by endoscopy have discouraged many people and even missed the opportunity for early diagnosis. At present, painless endoscopy can improve this kind of situation, but everyone has various doubts about it. In order to accurately understand and grasp the needs of people in Suichang County for gastrointestinal endoscopy, so as to better carry out gastrointestinal endoscopy/screening/diagnosis and treatment work in the future, we designed this demand survey.

NCT ID: NCT04879771 Recruiting - Pain Clinical Trials

Comparison of Receiving Painless Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in the Morning or Afternoon on Postoperative Sleep Quality

Start date: May 7, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Gastrointestinal endoscopy (GIE) are important examinations for screening, diagnosing, and treating a variety of gastrointestinal diseases. Specifically, endoscopy is one of the best surveillance tools for early detection of several cancers, GIE is increasingly being used because of government support for cancer screening and growing interest in preventive medicine. But some patients refuse endoscopic examinations because of fear and anxiety of discomfort during the procedure. Sedatives is increasingly used in GIE these years to reduce the anxiety and discomfort of patients and increase patient satisfaction. Sedatives also minimize the risk of patient injury during GIE and provide ideal working conditions for endoscopists to improve patients' satisfaction with surgery. Sedation can be divided into four levels: minimal sedation (anxiolysis), conscious sedation, deep sedation, and general anesthesia. A combination of benzodiazepines and opiates (midazolam and fentanyl), the medications used most commonly by gastroenterologists for procedural sedation, provides adequate analgesia and sedation during colonoscopy. Besides above, propofol is an intravenously administered hypnotic drug used for induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia and is also used in procedural sedation. Nowadays, propofol sedation is preferred by more and more endoscopists for colonoscopy procedures with its perceived benefits of rapid postprocedure drug clearance, improved patient comfort and rapid recovery/discharge when compared to conventional sedation. And propofol provided more rapid recovery than midazolam, it has the merit of post-procedure neuropsychologic function over midazolam. Previous studies have found that general anesthesia, as an independent risk factor, may lead to desynchronization of the circadian rhythm, which could result in postoperative sleep disorders characterized by reduced rapid eye movement (REM) and slow-wave sleep (SWS). Postoperative sleep disorders could cause serious adverse effects on postoperative outcomes, such as postoperative fatigue, severe anxiety and depression, emotional detachment and delirium, and even increased pain sensitivity or postoperative pain in patients.

Postoperative sleep disorders could cause serious adverse effects on postoperative outcomes, such as postoperative fatigue, severe anxiety and depression, emotional detachment and delirium, and even increased pain sensitivity or postoperative pain in patients. At present, there are few studies that have assessed the effect of circadian rhythm during different timings of gastrointestinal endoscopy on postoperative sleep quality, and pain under general anesthesia. Based on these considerations, we sought to answer the questions in this study: 1. What is the impact of morning operation and evening operation on the intraoperative anesthetic requirement under general anesthesia? 2. What are the effects of different timings of surgery on the postoperative sleep quality and pain under general anesthesia?
