Trial Outcomes & Findings for Propofol and Dexmedetomidine Versus a Propofol Only Regimen for Sedation During Colonoscopy (NCT NCT03139279)

NCT ID: NCT03139279

Last Updated: 2019-07-29

Results Overview

Each subject was assessed for readiness for discharge at 10, 20 and 30 minutes after the procedure, using the Modified Post-Anesthesia Discharge Scoring System (MPADSS). A subject getting an MPADS score of 9-10 is deemed ready for discharge. The percentage of subjects ready for discharge in each group at 10, 20 and 30 minutes will be measured as primary outcome.

Participant Flow

We consented 122 patients of which 8 were immediately excluded for the following reasons: procedure began prior to randomization (3), inclusion criteria not met (3), anesthesiologist declined (1), patient withdrew consent (1); 114 were randomized into the treatment and placebo groups.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 minutes

Each subject was assessed for readiness for discharge at 10, 20 and 30 minutes after the procedure, using the Modified Post-Anesthesia Discharge Scoring System (MPADSS). A subject getting an MPADS score of 9-10 is deemed ready for discharge. The percentage of subjects ready for discharge in each group at 10, 20 and 30 minutes will be measured as primary outcome.
