What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Summary

This study looks at whether using sedation during a feeding tube procedure (percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, or PEG) is safer than not using it in elderly patients who are very ill (classified as ASA IV). The main focus is on heart and lung complications within the first 24 hours after the procedure. Researchers will also track technical success, procedure time, hospital stay, and outcomes like mortality and readmission within 30 days. The findings could help doctors choose the best approach for this vulnerable group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Sedation (or no sedation) during percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement
What this could lead to
If one approach proves safer, it could guide how feeding tubes are placed in frail older adults, reducing complications and improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it can't prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by patient differences, and the small size limits generalizability.
