Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary end point(s): The time interval between the end of anaesthetic drug application and the moment when discharge criteria from the operating room are met (Steward Score =3) is compared between the study groups. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: immediately after the end of the endoscopic procedure;Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is the effect of Narcotrend Index (NI) monitoring on the speed of recovery from Procedural Sedation (PS) for paediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy (PGE). Speed of recovery is defined as the time interval between the end of hypnotic drug application and the moment when discharge criteria from the operating room are met.;Secondary Objective: Secondary endpoints are: • Anaesthetic drug consumption • Total time from discontinuation of anaesthetic drug delivery until discharge from the post anaesthe¬sia care unit • Posthoc intergroup comparison of hypnotic depth as measured by NI • Recall of events during the procedure (awareness), only in patients > 6 years. • Assessment of endoscopy conditions (by paediatric gastroenterologist) • Adverse events | — |
