Advanced versus standard heart and blood-flow monitoring during propofol sedation for ERCP

Comparison of Advanced Hemodynamic Monitoring With Standard Monitoring During Propofol Sedation in ERCP Procedures: A Prospective Observational Study

Observational Hitit University · NCT07538115

This study sees if using the MostCare advanced hemodynamic monitor instead of standard monitoring reduces hemodynamic events that need treatment in adults (ASA III+) having propofol sedation for ERCP.

What this trial studies

This prospective observational study compares patients monitored with the MostCare advanced hemodynamic system to those receiving standard monitoring alone during propofol sedation for ERCP. Adult patients (≥18 years) with ASA physical status III or higher who maintain spontaneous respiration and consent are included, while those requiring general anesthesia, mechanical ventilation, or who are unsuitable for arterial catheterization are excluded. The primary focus is on hemodynamic events that require intervention, using continuous advanced parameters (cardiac output, stroke volume, systemic vascular resistance) versus routine vital signs. The study is conducted at a single center and documents whether advanced monitoring identifies disturbances missed by standard monitoring.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults aged 18 or older with ASA III or higher scheduled for ERCP under propofol sedation who maintain spontaneous breathing and can undergo arterial catheterization and give informed consent.

Not a fit: Patients who need general anesthesia or mechanical ventilation, pregnant patients, or those with coagulopathy or local infection that prevent arterial catheterization are unlikely to benefit from this monitoring approach.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could help clinicians detect hidden circulatory problems earlier and reduce blood-pressure–related complications during ERCP sedation.

How similar studies have performed: Advanced hemodynamic monitoring and cardiac-output–guided management have shown benefits in some perioperative settings, but their specific use during ERCP sedation is less well studied.
