Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparison Between Two Different Dosages of Remifentanil During Colonoscopy (NCT NCT01229527)

NCT ID: NCT01229527

Last Updated: 2012-02-01

Results Overview

Ten key parameters (Activity, Respiration, Circulation, Consciousness, O2 Saturation, Dressing, Pain, Ambulation, Fasting-feeding, Urine Output)are included in the Modified Aldrete Score. The maximum and minimum score for each parameter is respectively 2 and 0. The maximum total score is 20 and patient can be discharged when the total score is ≥18.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: After the end of colonoscopy (when patients were completely awake) and 24 h after the procedure via telephone

The degree of satisfaction about the quality of sedation was measured with VAS (Visual Analog Scale) where 0 means no satisfaction and 100 means maximum satisfaction.
