First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates how often adults remember events during procedural sedation with propofol in the emergency department, specifically for fracture or joint dislocation reduction. About 250 participants will be asked a questionnaire the day after sedation to check for any recall. The goal is to better understand the incidence of awareness during this common procedure.
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 this trial succeeds, it could clarify how often people recall events during propofol sedation, potentially improving sedation protocols and patient comfort in emergency care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't test a new treatment. Results may vary by patient and procedure, and recall is self-reported, which can be unreliable.
