Can we predict who will have trouble breathing during a routine scope?

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 1,000 adults having a routine diagnostic endoscopy (camera test of the stomach or colon) with propofol sedation. Researchers want to find out which patients are more likely to have a dangerous drop in blood pressure or oxygen levels during the procedure. The goal is to identify risk factors so doctors can better prepare and prevent these complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Propofol
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify patients at higher risk for complications during routine endoscopy, leading to safer sedation practices.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test any new drug or intervention, so it cannot directly improve outcomes.
