Clinical Trial Summary

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a lengthy and uncomfortable procedure that requires adequate sedation. Propofol is the commonly used sedative during ERCP. However, dose dependent cardiac and respiratory depression may occur. Hypotension usually occurs in severe cholangitis which necessitate the use of alternative sedative. The aim is to study the efficacy and safety of ketofol as a sedative during urgent ERCP for severe cholangitis.


Clinical Trial Description

This randomized controlled trial was carried out on 96 patients undergoing urgent ERCP for severe cholangitis. Patients were allocated into two groups; group 1: received ketofol and group 2: received propofol. Demographic data, ERCP duration, recovery time, heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), peripheral oxygen saturation, Ramsey Sedation Scale (RSS), pain Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), propofol requirement, adverse events, endoscopists and patients satisfaction were recorded ;
