Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

"This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the effects of adding low-dose ketamine (0.25 mg/kg) to standard propofol sedation on hemodynamic stability, sedation depth, and recovery times in adult patients undergoing elective colonoscopy. Sedation depth will be objectively monitored using the Bispectral Index (BIS) alongside clinical scoring. The study observes and compares two standard sedation regimens routinely used in the clinic: propofol alone versus a combination of propofol and low-dose ketamine. Researchers will record intraoperative hemodynamic parameters (mean arterial pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation) and BIS values at regular intervals from baseline to the end of the procedure. Furthermore, postoperative recovery quality, cognitive function, and discharge readiness will be comprehensively assessed using the Modified Aldrete Score, Post Anesthetic Discharge Scoring System (PADSS), and a computerized Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT-B) at specific time points. The total amount of propofol consumed to maintain adequate sedation will also be compared between the two observational cohorts."
