Study summary

This is a single-site observational, before/after cohort study comparing intermittent blood pressure measurement using to continuous noninvasive blood pressure measurement. The study is designed to determine the impact of the use of continuous noninvasive blood pressure monitoring on the incidence of hypotension in high-risk patients undergoing sedation for upper or lower endoscopic procedures.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-site observational, before/after cohort study comparing intermittent blood pressure measurement using an oscillometric arm cuff to continuous noninvasive blood pressure measurement on the incidence of hypotension in high-risk patients undergoing sedation for upper or lower endoscopic procedures.

The primary aim is to determine the impact of the use of continuous noninvasive blood pressure monitoring on the incidence of hypotension. The secondary aims are to evaluate the impact of continuous blood pressure monitoring on total IV fluid administered, total vasopressor administered, intra-operative depth of sedation, post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and the time to discharge readiness.

Study population

High-Risk Patients Undergoing Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥ 50 years
  • (ASA) Physical Status ≥ 3
  • Scheduled for upper or lower endoscopic procedure with planned propofol administration
  • Planned oscillometric blood pressure monitoring using arm cuff without an arterial pressure catheter.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age \<50 years
  • ASA Physical Status 1 or 2
  • Patients known to be pregnant
  • Patients with an existing arterial pressure catheter
  • Patients on mechanical circulatory support
  • Patients with planned intubation for procedure
  • Patients with a difference in systolic blood pressure measurement between right and left upper extremities > 10 mmHg
  • Patients with extreme contraction of the smooth muscle in the arteries and arterioles of the arm and hand, such as may be present with Raynaud's disease
  • Patients with an inability to place the noninvasive finger cuffs due to anatomy, skin condition, or obstructive paraphernalia (such as false nails)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ASA physical status

The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Dec 2027, 13 months later.

Of 146 non-industry observational studies under Hypotension, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 25. This study's planned 13 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 151 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 24.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
