Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

The purpose of this study is to find the right dose of two medications, oliceridine and propofol, when used together for sedation in patients with obesity undergoing a painless gastroscope procedure. Currently, standard sedation methods using other opioids can sometimes cause breathing problems, especially in patients with obesity. Oliceridine is a newer medication that may provide good pain relief with a lower risk of these side effects. However, the best dose of propofol when combined with oliceridine for this specific patient group is not yet clear. This study will enroll patients with obesity (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m²) who are scheduled for a routine painless gastroscopy. Participants will receive the study medications during their procedure, and the medical team will carefully monitor their vital signs and sedation level. The study aims to find the most effective and safe dose combination to help guide future clinical practice.

This study will evaluate whether listening to low-tempo instrumental music during gastroscopy and/or colonoscopy can reduce the amount of sedative medication needed during the procedure. Adults undergoing elective gastroscopy and/or colonoscopy with sedation will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will listen to low-tempo instrumental music (60-80 beats per minute) through headphones during the procedure in addition to receiving standard sedation. The other group will receive standard sedation without music. The main outcome of the study is the amount of sedative medication required during the procedure. The study will also compare pain after the procedure, time until discharge, patient satisfaction, and changes in heart rate and blood pressure between the two groups. The researchers hypothesize that patients who listen to low-tempo music will require less sedative medication and may have improved recovery and patient-reported outcomes compared with patients receiving standard sedation alone.

The SED-PACK study is a prospective, observational, single-center clinical investigation evaluating the clinical performance and safety of SED Pack, a Medical Device Software (MDSW) developed by Predictheon Medical S.L., in a fully blinded, non-interventional setting during routine procedural sedation in adult patients at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Spain. Procedural sedation consists in the administration of sedative and analgesic drugs to allow patients to undergo routine diagnostic or therapeutic procedures comfortably. Despite advances in monitoring technology, adverse events such as arterial hypotension, respiratory depression, or inadequate sedation remain frequent due to marked interindividual variability in drug response. Currently, clinicians rely on standard physiological monitoring that measures what is happening in real time but does not anticipate what is about to happen. SED Pack is designed to address this gap by continuously processing physiological monitoring data and drug-infusion information to generate four real-time predictive indices (updated once per second): pSED (sedation depth), pNOC (likelihood of response to a noxious stimulus), pHYPO (likelihood of arterial hypotension), and pDEP (likelihood of respiratory depression). In this clinical investigation, one hundred and twenty adult patients (≥18 years, ASA I-III) will be enrolled. Predictive performance is evaluated using the c-index for pSED, pHYPO, and pDEP, and AUC-ROC for pNOC. The primary hypothesis is that each index achieves a discrimination performance ≥0.70 (lower bound of the 95% CI also ≥0.70). The software runs in fully blinded mode: its predictions are not visible to clinicians and do not influence patient management. No additional procedures beyond standard clinical care are introduced. The study complies with MDR 2017/745 and ISO 14155, with AEMPS authorization and CEIm approval (reference: HCB/2026/0307). Expected outcomes include confirmation that each SED Pack predictive index achieves clinically acceptable discrimination performance, supporting the clinical use of this investigational software as a tool to anticipate and prevent sedation-related complications.

This study aims to evaluate the sedative efficacy and safety of remimazolam combined with oliceridine in elderly patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. Elderly patients often face higher risks of respiratory and hemodynamic depression during clinical sedation. This trial will investigate whether the combination of remimazolam and oliceridine can provide stable sedation, maintain stable vital signs, and reduce the incidence of adverse events such as hypoxemia and postoperative cognitive fluctuation in this vulnerable population.

This study is a prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, single-site study, focused on evaluating the safety and efficacy of the Triton 1.5 System in diagnostic and basic therapeutic colonoscopy.

One of the most common adverse events during sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy is hypoxemia, which can lead to serious consequences. When sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy is performed in high-altitude regions with thin air and lower atmospheric pressure, the risk of hypoxemia in patients significantly increases. Traditionally, propofol is the primary agent for sedation during gastrointestinal endoscopy, offering rapid onset and recovery. However, propofol has many side effects, the most important of which is inhibition of respiration and hypotension. Etomidate has less effect on respiration compared to propofol. But there are also adverse reactions of etomidate such as muscular tremor, nausea and vomiting. This study aims to explore whether the etomidate combined with propofol anesthesia method can reduce the risk of hypoxemia during sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy in high-altitude regions, compared to the traditional propofol anesthesia method .

This study is a prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, single site first-in-human study and will be conducted in two phases, where Phase A will serve to evaluate the safety of the Triton 4.0 System to perform screening, surveillance and diagnostic colonoscopies, and Phase B will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Triton 4.0 System to perform screening, surveillance and diagnostic colonoscopies.

This study aims to investigate the incidence of euphoria induced by remimazolam during gastrointestinal endoscopy and explore its related factors. Gastrointestinal endoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure, often causes discomfort and anxiety for patients. Remimazolam, a short-acting benzodiazepine, is increasingly used for sedation during these procedures due to its rapid onset, short metabolism, and controlled cardiorespiratory effects. This cross-sectional study will evaluate the effect of remimazolam on patient comfort, cooperation, and satisfaction during endoscopy, aiming to optimize sedation protocols and improve clinical outcomes.

the(obstructivesleepapneahypoapneasyndromeOSAHS) is a kind of to sleep appear periodically in the process of syndrome characterized by partial or complete obstruction of upper respiratory tract.Patients with obstruction during the attack, faced with percutaneous arterial blood oxygen saturation (percutaneousarterialoxygensaturation, SpO2) to reduce the risk of can also trigger hypercapnia and cardiovascular dysfunction.The global incidence of OSAS is 4.0% in males and 2.0% in females .Sedative drugs inhibit the response of OSAS patients to external stimuli and may cause pharyngeal muscle collapse, leading to an increased risk of respiratory adverse events during painless gastroscopy in this population .In fact, OSAS has been identified as an independent risk factor for endoscopic hypoxia .Currently, there is no special oropharyngeal ventilation device used during gastroenteroscopy. Recently, a new type of oropharyngeal ventilation channel has been developed and applied in clinic.Compared with the conventional nasal catheter, the new oropharyngeal airway nasal mask can better fit the patient's face, ensure the air tightness inside the nose mask and maximize the oxygen supply efficiency. The carbon dioxide outlet connected to the oropharyngeal airway body can not only collect the patient's exhaled gas, but also reduce the backflow of carbon dioxide gas.It can also access carbon dioxide detection equipment to monitor the patient's PCO2 at the end of breath in real time .In order to evaluate whether the new oropharyngeal airway can reduce the incidence of hypoxia during painless gastroenteroscopy in general patients, the study was designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the new oropharyngeal airway.

Painless endoscopy is a popular method of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment. Propofol combined with fentanyl general intravenous anesthesia has been widely used in painless endoscopic diagnosis and treatment.However, the combined application of the two has a significant respiratory center inhibition effect, resulting in a decrease in blood oxygen saturation of patients, especially obese patients, who are more likely to suffer from a sudden drop in blood oxygen and even threaten their lives .Due to the potential risk of upper airway obstruction in some obese patients, intraoperative hypopnea may occur during painless colonoscopy due to the influence of sedative and analgesic drugs, resulting in hypoxia in patients. In addition, the anatomical and pathological changes of obese patients themselves make hypoxia tolerance poor and airway establishment difficult, which may endanger the safety of patients .Currently, there is no special oropharyngeal ventilation device used during gastroenteroscopy. Recently, a new type of oropharyngeal ventilation channel has been developed and applied in clinic.Compared with the conventional nasal catheter, the new oropharyngeal airway nasal mask can better fit the patient's face, ensure the air tightness inside the nose mask and maximize the oxygen supply efficiency. The carbon dioxide outlet connected to the oropharyngeal airway body can not only collect the patient's exhaled gas, but also reduce the backflow of carbon dioxide gas.It can also access carbon dioxide detection equipment to monitor the patient's PCO2 at the end of breath in real time .In order to evaluate whether the new oropharyngeal airway can reduce the incidence of hypoxia in ordinary patients during painless gastroenteroscopy, the investigators prepared this study and explored the safety and effectiveness of the new oropharyngeal airway .
