Comparing the Application of Sedation with Ramsey Sedation Scale versus Bispectral Index Monitoring During Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Procedures

42198

Objective: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the process of displaying channels that provide pancreas, gall bladder and liver drainage Propofol is often used for conscious sedation during this procedure. In this study we aimed to compare the physician controlled sedation with propofol versus bispectral index controlled sedation (BIS) during ERCP. Material and Methods: 60 patients aged between 18 and 75 were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided randomly into two groups; Group 1 patients were administered intermittent doses of propofol to provide Ramsey Sedation Scale 3-4 by the physician monitorization whether Group 2 patients were given intermittent doses of propofol to maintain the BIS level between 60 and 85. SPO2, systolic, diastolic and, mean blood pressures, heart rates, complications, adverse effects, duration of operation, patient awakeness were recorded five minutes periodically. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of demographic characteristics. Patients’ hemodynamic data were similar too. There was no statistically significance in terms of complications between the groups. Both groups were close to each other considering the average processing time whether recovery time of patients in the BIS group was detected significantly shorter than the Ramsey group. Conclusion: Application of sedation with BIS is as safe as physician-controlled sedation in ERCP.
