Deep analgosedation versus endotracheal intubation anesthesia for elderly ERCP patients
Official title: Effect of Deep Analgosedation vs. Endotracheal Intubation General Anesthesia on Perioperative Respiratory Adverse Events in Elderly ERCP Patients: An Open-Label Randomized Controlled Trial
Run by Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital · NCT07017283 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will see if deep analgosedation or endotracheal intubation general anesthesia leads to fewer sedation-related problems in people aged 60 and older undergoing therapeutic ERCP.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
People aged 60 or older with ASA status I–III who are scheduled for elective therapeutic ERCP and can provide informed consent are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with difficult airways, significant cardiac or pulmonary disease, altered gastrointestinal anatomy, severe liver or kidney dysfunction, coagulopathy, active upper respiratory infection, cognitive impairment, or pregnancy are unlikely to benefit from this comparison and are excluded.

What this trial studies
This interventional study compares two anesthesia approaches—deep analgosedation with nasopharyngeal airway ventilation and general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation—in patients aged 60 and older undergoing elective therapeutic ERCP at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital. Eligible participants have ASA physical status I–III and will receive the assigned airway and sedation strategy while perioperative sedation-related adverse events are recorded. Patients with difficult airway, significant cardiopulmonary disease, altered gastrointestinal anatomy, severe organ dysfunction, coagulopathy, active infection, or cognitive impairment are excluded. The trial aims to quantify rates of airway complications, hemodynamic instability, and other sedation-related adverse events between the two approaches.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help lower sedation-related complications and improve safety for older adults undergoing therapeutic ERCP.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies comparing deep sedation and general anesthesia for ERCP have reported mixed results—some show fewer airway events with intubation but increased hemodynamic effects—so definitive guidance is lacking.
