View clinical trials related to Endoscopic Ultrasonography.
Filter by:Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is an endoscopic procedure performed to investigate conditions affecting the stomach, liver, and bile ducts, as well as for therapeutic interventions. The complexity of EUS can vary significantly, with increased complexity affecting procedure duration, technical success, and the occurrence of adverse events. For the comfort of patients and the success of the procedure, these interventions are typically performed under anesthesia with procedural sedation. To enhance the success rate of the procedure, reduce the risk of side effects, and maximize patient comfort, EUS is generally performed under sedation according to the recommendations of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). During sedation, the aim is for the patient to be more relaxed and comfortable while maintaining spontaneous respiratory function. Preserving spontaneous respiratory parameters is crucial for procedural safety.
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a key procedure for diagnosing biliopancreatic diseases. However, the performance among EUS endoscopists varies greatly and leads to blind areas during operation, which impaired the health outcome of patients. We previously developed an artificial intelligence (AI) device that accurately identifies EUS standard stations and significantly reduces the difficulty of ultrasound image interpretation. In this study, we updated the device (named EUS-IREAD) and assessed its performance in improving the quality of EUS examination in a single-center randomized controlled trial.
The objective of this randomized cross-over trial is to evaluate whether Heparin based wet suction technique, compared with dry suction technique, shall present a higher quality tissue core by using quantitative macroscopic and microscopic scale.
To meet the needs of both operators and patients, moderate and deep sedation has been widely used in digestive endoscopy, which is invasive and painful. With its pleasant effects, sedation has complications nevertheless. And respiratory depression is the most common one, which makes respiratory monitoring significant. SpO2 and respiratory motion are regularly monitored without satisfying timeliness or sensitivity. Capnography with current device is only able to detect either oral or nasal breathing. The present study was designed to test the effect of the investigator's modified End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring device for sedation during endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration.
