NCT ID NCT07702240
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests two drug combinations used to sedate people during a procedure called ERCP, which examines bile ducts. One group receives esketamine plus propofol, the other sufentanil plus propofol. Researchers track oxygen levels and blood pressure to see which approach causes fewer breathing or blood pressure problems.
