About this trial

This prospective, randomized, single-center study aims to evaluate and compare two different sedation and analgesia regimens used during percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) procedures. A total of 96 adult patients undergoing elective PTBD or biliary stenting will be randomized to receive either propofol-remifentanil or propofol-ketamine sedation. The primary outcome is recovery time assessed using the Modified Aldrete Score. Secondary outcomes include procedure quality, pain scores, patient and operator satisfaction, hemodynamic stability, and the incidence of sedation-related adverse events. The study is designed to determine the optimal sedation strategy for PTBD, particularly in fragile and elderly patient populations.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Recovery Time

Time to achieve adequate recovery assessed using the Modified Aldrete Score.

Time frame
From completion of the procedure until Modified Aldrete Score >8, assessed up to 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes

1

Hemodynamic Stability

Changes in systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation during the procedure.

Time frame
Baseline, every 5 minutes during the procedure (assessed up to 60 minutes), and immediately after the procedure.
2

Pain Intensity

Pain intensity assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

Time frame
Baseline (pre-procedure), immediately after recovery, and at 30 minutes post-recovery.
3

Sedation Depth

Sedation level assessed using the Ramsay Sedation Scale.

Time frame
Every 5 minutes during the procedure, assessed up to 30 minutes.
4

Adverse Events

Incidence of sedation-related adverse events including hypotension, bradycardia, hypoxia, apnea, nausea, and vomiting.

Time frame
Perioperatively and through the recovery period, assessed up to 30 minutes.
