Summary

This study tests whether a new combination of sedative and painkiller drugs can make deep sedation safer for elderly patients (ages 60-90) undergoing a procedure called ERCP, which treats bile duct problems. The goal is to reduce breathing complications and speed up recovery compared to the standard approach. About 141 participants will be randomly assigned to one of three drug combinations to find the best balance of pain control and safety.
