Brief summary

Patients routinely receive sedation during a colonoscopy or upper endoscopy (esophagogastroduodenoscopy; EGD) procedure. Propofol is a sedative that can be used during these procedures. The purpose of this study is to determine if this CAPS device enables a physician/registered nurse (RN) team to safely and effectively administer propofol sedation during colonoscopy or EGD procedures relative to current sedation practices.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Area Under the Curve for Oxygen Desaturation (AUCDesat)From administration of initial drug dose until subject recovered from effects of sedationAUCDesat measures desaturation as a function of incidence, magnitude, and duration. AUCDesat is the difference between the threshold and actual oxygen saturation measured every second. The total area below the 90% threshold is summated to determine AUCDesat in units of seconds\*percent.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Duration of Deep Sedation/General AnesthesiaFrom first dose until subject recovered from effects of sedationDuration of Modified Observers Assessment of Alertness and Sedation (MOAA/S)score of 0 or 1 MOAA/S is a scale of numbers ranging from 0-5, 5 being defined as being awake or minimally sedatied, and 0 defined as being at the deepest level of sedation (general anethesia). The mean MOAA/S score was the sum of each subject's scores during the procedure divided by the number of non-missing scores.
Patient Satisfaction24-48 hours post sedationPatient Satisfaction with Sedation Instrument (PSSI) is a scale measuring patient satisfactin with the sedation they received. This validated scale consists of 16 questions that are scored and converted to a 0-100 scale, where 100 represented the most satisfied.

Primary

Area Under the Curve for Oxygen Desaturation (AUCDesat)

AUCDesat measures desaturation as a function of incidence, magnitude, and duration. AUCDesat is the difference between the threshold and actual oxygen saturation measured every second. The total area below the 90% threshold is summated to determine AUCDesat in units of seconds\*percent.

Time frame: From administration of initial drug dose until subject recovered from effects of sedation

Population: This analysis was intention to treat (ITT) which is all subjects who enrolled and had data avaiable. The differences in total subjects enrolled and subjects analyzed are due to missing data.
