NCT ID NCT07017283
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study compares deep sedation with a nasal airway to general anesthesia with a breathing tube in 170 elderly patients (60+) undergoing ERCP for bile or pancreas issues. The goal is to see which method causes fewer breathing problems during and after the procedure. Researchers will also track recovery time and other side effects.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Procedure: deep analgosedation with nasopharyngeal airway vs. endotracheal intubation general anesthesia
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that deep sedation with a nasal airway is safer and equally effective as general anesthesia for elderly ERCP patients, potentially reducing recovery time and complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (170 participants) comparing two anesthesia methods, so results may not apply to all patients. The open-label design could introduce bias, and the primary focus is on breathing events, not long-term outcomes.
