Procedure Time clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

NCT ID: NCT04473456 Completed - Procedure Time Clinical Trials

Combined Simultaneous EGD-colonoscopy Trial (CoSi Endoscopy)

Start date: June 13, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The COVID -19 pandemic has reduced endoscopy services to an average of 83% producing a significant economic impact on endoscopy units worldwide. Endoscopy as an aerosol-generating procedure requires endoscopy units to allow 12 cycles of air exchange per hour, equivalent to 20 minutes, between patients, to reduce medical risk exposure. Planning strategies to facilitate economic reactivation of endoscopy services in a responsible manner, maintaining adequate security measures for both patients and healthcare personnel is currently a major challenge. Serial endoscopic interventions as esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy are commonly performed during the same sedation time. Estimated times for quality inspection in the upper digestive tract and the colon, are 7 and 6 minutes, respectively. In addition, time to reach the cecum and to set up the following procedure increase not only procedure time but SARS-CoV-2 exposure to healthcare personnel. Performing these two procedures simultaneously by two endoscopists would considerably reduce procedure time while increasing the number of patients evaluated in one day, especially in the period of service reactivation. There are no studies comparing simultaneous EGD and colonoscopy procedures and, serial procedures. This study aims to determine differences in procedures times between simultaneous EGD-colonoscopy and conventional serial EGD-colonoscopy as an alternative to improve the number of procedures/hour/unit during the COVID-19 era.
