Can AI predict complications before they happen during sedation?
NCT ID NCT07749781
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a software tool called SED Pack can accurately predict sedation depth, pain response, low blood pressure, and breathing problems during routine endoscopic procedures. The software runs in the background, analyzing patient monitoring data in real time, but its predictions are not shown to doctors. The goal is to see if the predictions are accurate enough to potentially help prevent complications in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SED Pack, a medical device software that analyzes monitoring data to predict sedation-related complications
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this software could help doctors anticipate and prevent dangerous drops in blood pressure or breathing problems during sedation, making procedures safer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, so the software's predictions may not be accurate enough in real-world settings. It is not yet proven to improve patient outcomes.

Who is studied
Adult patients scheduled for elective, non-emergent gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures requiring standard procedural sedation with propofol and remifentanil via TCI at the Endoscopy Unit of Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Spain. Patients are identified during routine pre-procedural evaluation and enrolled consecutively after provision of written informed consent.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years * ASA physical status I-III * Scheduled for an elective, non-emergent gastrointestinal endoscopic procedure * Procedural sedation planned with propofol and remifentanil administered via a target-controlled infusion (TCI) system * Administration of sedative and analgesic drugs via a peripheral venous line * Ability to understand the study information and provide written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of medical conditions or use of medications that, in the investigator's judgment, could significantly interfere with the interpretation of physiological signals used as reference standards (e.g., severe autonomic dysfunction, severe movement disorders). * Known severe neurologic, cardiovascular or respiratory disease that substantially alters baseline physiological monitoring or expected sedation response * ASA physical status IV, V or VI * Known or anticipated difficult airway requiring advanced airway management or interfering with standard respiratory monitoring * Requirement for central venous access for drug administration * Sedation performed outside the endoscopy unit (e.g., intensive care, emergency department) * Inability to understand study information, provide consent or cooperate with clinical assessments due to language barrier or cognitive impairment
