Comparison of the efficacy and safety of ciprofol and propofol for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) anesthesia in older patients: A single-center randomized controlled clinical study

J Clin AnesthPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Compared with propofol, ciprofol exhibited a comparable level of sedation in older patients undergoing ERCP, and recovery was safe and rapid with less injection pain.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Sedation success rate

95 % CI - 2.63 %, 2.63 %

Secondary outcomes

Time of successful sedation induction · longer with ciprofol

P < 0.05

Time of complete recovery · shorter with ciprofol

P < 0.05

Time of leaving the room · shorter with ciprofol

P < 0.05

Safety

Injection pain · lower with ciprofol

P < 0.05

Other outcomes (hypoxemia, hypotension)

Other outcomes didn't show statistical differences
