Which sedation combo is safer for your gut scope?
NCT ID NCT06756594
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 100 adults getting a gastrointestinal endoscopy to compare two drug combos for sedation: dexmedetomidine-propofol versus ketamine-propofol. The goal was to see which combo provides better stability during the procedure and fewer side effects like nausea, vomiting, headache, or confusion afterward. Results help doctors choose the safest sedation approach for routine scopes.
