Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research is to compare the effect of different procedural sequences on the time to recovery and the propofol sedation requirements in patients undergoing bidirectional endoscopy with sedation.

The two sequences are:

- Colonoscopy followed by Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)

- EGD followed by Colonoscopy


Clinical Trial Description

120 patients will be asked to participate in the trial. The subject will undergo both procedures in the order assigned by the randomization sheet. During the procedure, the endoscopist and anesthesiologists will collect data including but not limited to vital signs (heart rate, blood oxygen level, blood pressure) and level of sedation through the Bispectral Index Monitor (BIS). After completing the procedures, the patient will be approached in the recovery room by the study coordinator who will administer the Modified Post Anesthesia Discharge Scoring System (M-PADSS) scale every 5 minutes until a score of 9 or higher is obtained on two consecutive attempts. 24 hours following the procedure, the study coordinator will call the patient in order to assess the patient's cognitive function and drowsiness after they were discharged from the endoscopy unit. ;
