About this trial

Recording and analyzing electroencephalogram (EEG) and continuous pain monitor data under anesthesia in order to investigating the pharmacodynamic effects of opioids and sedatives.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients who under go ERCP who require general anesthesia

Disqualifiers

ASA> or = 4 , vulnerable groups such as prisoners, patients with physical or mental disabilities and HIV carriers

Treatments tested in this trial

  • high dose of alfentanil

    Drug

    The initial dose is alfentanil cet 10ng/mL and propofol 1ug/mL. Dose of alfentanil will be increased by 10ng/mL each until PSI reach to 25-50. If alfentail has been adjusted to 50 but PSI is still too high, increase propofol cet by 0.5-1ug/mL till target PSI is reached. If propofol is adjusted to 0 but PSI is still too low, decrease alfetanil by 10ng/mL The range of dosage of alfentanil is 0-50ng/mL while propofol is 0-5ug/mL.

  • low dose of alfentanil with propofol

    Drug

    Adjust dose of propofol to the upper limit before adjusting dose of alfentanil. Increase dose of propofol 0.5-1 ug/mL in order to have PSI valued 25-50. The initial dose of propofol is 1ug/mL, alfentanil 10 ng/mL. If propofol was adjusted to cet=5 ug/mL but PSI is still too high, increase alfentanil by 10 ng/mL instead. If alfentanil was adjusted to 0 but PSI is still too low, decrease propofol by 0.5-1 ug/mL instead . The range of dosage of propofol is 0-5 ug/mL while alfentanil is 0-50ng/mL.

20 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Sedation with high dose of alfentanil with the presence of propofolExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Sedation with low dose of alfentanil with the presence of propofolActive comparator 1 intervention

Secondary outcomes

1

Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI)

The Analgesia Nociception Index is measured by a continuous analgesia monitoring system . It is a numeric index (range from 0-100) indicating patients' nociception.

Time frame
Baseline and periprocedural
2

Blood pressure

Time frame
baseline and periprocedural
3

Non-invasive cardiac output

Cardiac output measured continuously by non-invasive monitoring (e.g., electrical cardiometry or equivalent device). The unit of measure is liters per minute (L/min)

Time frame
during the whole sedation
4

Heart rate

Time frame
baseline and periprocedural

Other outcomes

1

Frequency of Patient Movement Events

The total number of movement events (defined as gross body motion, limb withdrawal, or head movement) recorded during the procedure

Time frame
Periprocedural
