Esketamine Versus Sufentanil for Sedation in Patients Undergoing ERCP
Sponsor: Ren Da
Summary
This study compares two anesthesia medications, esketamine and sufentanil, used together with propofol during ERCP procedures. The goal is to find out which combination provides better safety and comfort for people undergoing ERCP. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either esketamine or sufentanil during sedation. Researchers will monitor blood oxygen levels, blood pressure, and recovery time during and after the procedure to evaluate safety and effectiveness.

Interventions
Esketamine
Intravenous esketamine is administered as an adjunct analgesic during induction of sedation for ERCP. It is used in combination with continuously infused propofol, with dosing titrated to achieve adequate procedural sedation. This regimen differs from the comparator arm in that esketamine is used as the primary analgesic agent instead of an opioid.
Sufentanil
Intravenous sufentanil is administered as an adjunct analgesic during induction of sedation for ERCP. It is used in combination with continuously infused propofol, with dosing titrated to achieve adequate procedural sedation. This regimen differs from the comparator arm in that sufentanil is used as the opioid-based analgesic instead of esketamine.
