Summary

This study looks at two types of anesthesia—conscious sedation and general anesthesia—used during painless stomach exams (gastroscopy) in frail patients aged 65 and older. The goal is to see which method causes fewer heart-related problems like irregular heartbeat, blood pressure swings, or serious events like heart attack. About 226 participants will be monitored to help doctors choose safer options for this vulnerable group.
