In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Although sedation during endoscopy is sufficiently safe, desaturations are among the most common side effects of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures, occurring in approximately 20-30% of cases. Sedation during endoscopy increases the complication rate, and a significant proportion of severe and serious side effects are respiratory/airway-related. However, most patients require sedation to complete the procedure and achieve adequate outcomes during therapeutic ERCP. Therefore, improved measures to increase ERCP safety are needed. Since the demand for anesthesia in many centers already (far) exceeds current capacities, performing additional ERCPs under general anesthesia is not an option. Innovative ways to improve cardiorespiratory monitoring or respiratory management during ERCP could offer a solution without significantly increasing costs. Fortunately, dedic
