E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
There is no medical condition which is under investigation. Paediatric patients, scheduled for gastrointestinal endoscopy under procedural sedation are eligible for inclusion. Depth of sedation will be assessed either by processed EEG analysis or by clinical surrogate parameters. Based on that assessement propofol is delivered. |
|
E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
Need for an examination of the gut by a doctor |
|
E.1.1.2 | Therapeutic area | Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment [E] - Anesthesia and Analgesia [E03] |
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the impact of electroencephalographic Narcotrend™ Index (NI) monitoring on the speed of emergence and recovery from procedural sedation for paediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary Objective(s): • Cumulative propofol consumption • Total time from discontinuation of anaesthetic drug delivery until discharge from the post anaesthesia care unit • Posthoc intergroup comparison of hypnotic depth as measured by Narcotrend • Detection of possible recall of events during the procedure (awareness) • Assessment of endoscopy conditions (by paediatric gastroenterologist) • Adverse events • Economic Analysis (Cost minimization analysis, CMA) |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Written informed consent of patients and their parents/legal representatives • Age 12-17 years • Bodyweight ≤ 60 kg • Gastrointestinal endoscopy • Eligibility for procedural sedation • Ability of the patient to communicate in Dutch |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Withdrawal of informed consent • Chronic exposure (more than one day) to psychotropic drugs and/or opioids • Known allergy/intolerance for propofol and/or remifentanil • Anticipated difficult airway • Child not eligible for procedural sedation, need for inhalation induction and general anaesthesia • Patient and/or parents unable to communicate in Dutch Secondary exclusion criteria • Unexpected need for inhalation induction of general anaesthesia due to major difficulties to obtain intravenous access. • Unexpected procedural events requiring endotracheal intubation |
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary objective of this study is the effect of NI monitoring on the speed of recovery from procedural sedation for paediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy (PGE). Speed of recovery is defined as the time interval between the end of anaesthetic drug application and the moment when discharge criteria from the operating room are met. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Immediately after the endoscopic procedure |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Cumulative propofol consumption • Total time from discontinuation of anaesthetic drug delivery until discharge from the post anaesthesia care unit • Posthoc intergroup comparison of hypnotic depth as measured by Narcotrend • Detection of possible recall of events during the procedure (awareness) • Assessment of endoscopy conditions (by paediatric gastroenterologist) • Adverse events • Economic Analysis (Cost minimization analysis, CMA) |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
On the recovery room, interviews 1 and 14 days after the procedure. Posthoc analysis of EEG data will be performed offline. |

E.6.13.1 | Other scope of the trial description |
EEG-based depth of hypnosis (DoH) monitoring during paediatric procedural sedation (PPS) may result in a faster recovery after the procedure, compared to a standard PPS regimen. From a scientific point of view the key question is whether the application of DoH monitoring results in advantages for both the patient and the health care providers (enhanced workflow on the operation room) are big enough to spend some extra money for the DoH-monitoring devices and disposables. |
