										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The study focuses on people undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic <b>Adenoma</b> removal during colonoscopy, a procedure that looks inside the large intestine to find and treat abnormal growths. The sedation method being tested uses a patient‑controlled system that delivers the drug <b>propofol</b> through a vein (intravenous) to keep the person comfortable and relaxed. This is compared with the standard sedation that uses the drugs <b>alfentanil</b> and <b>midazolam</b>, also given intravenously. The main goal is to see whether the patient‑controlled approach leads to higher satisfaction with the experience.</p>
<p>Participants will receive the assigned sedation during their colonoscopy and will be asked to complete a short questionnaire after the procedure to report how satisfied they felt. The study will also record how much medication was used, how long the procedure and recovery lasted, and any side effects or problems that occur. After the colonoscopy, participants will be monitored until they are fully awake and able to go home, and the overall success of completing the procedure will be noted.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The study focuses on the use of medication to keep patients relaxed and comfortable during a <b>colonoscopy</b>, a procedure that looks inside the large intestine with a thin tube. The medicines being compared are an injectable form of <b>remimazolam</b>, an injectable form of <b>midazolam</b>, and a background medication called <b>alfentanil</b>. All three drugs are given by injection and work by calming the brain so the procedure can be performed without pain or distress.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to find out if letting patients control their own sedation with remimazolam is safer and leads to higher satisfaction than when the doctor controls the sedation using either remimazolam or midazolam. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups, receive the assigned medication through an injection, and either manage the dose themselves using a simple device or have the dose given by the physician. The study follows each person through the colonoscopy, monitors for any moderate or severe side effects (known as adverse events), records how quickly they can leave the clinic (discharge), and asks about their overall experience to measure satisfaction.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The study focuses on patients who may experience <b>hypoxemia</b>—a condition where blood oxygen levels become too low—while undergoing <b>digestive endoscopy</b> procedures such as <b>gastroscopy</b>, <b>colonoscopy</b>, or <b>oral endoscopic ultrasound</b> performed under <b>deep sedation</b>. The intervention being tested is the delivery of <b>high-flow oxygen therapy</b> using a medical oxygen gas, which provides a higher rate of oxygen to help keep blood oxygen levels stable during the procedure.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to determine whether this oxygen approach reduces the number of low‑oxygen events and related complications during sedated endoscopic examinations. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the high‑flow oxygen or the standard oxygen method, and they will be observed throughout the endoscopic procedure and the short recovery period. Researchers will monitor for signs such as abnormal breathing patterns measured by <b>capnography</b> (a test that tracks carbon dioxide in the breath), as well as heart‑related issues including <b>bradycardia</b> (slow heart rate), <b>hypotension</b> (low blood pressure), <b>arrhythmias</b> (irregular heartbeats), <b>pulmonary aspiration</b> (inhaling fluids into the lungs), and <b>cardiorespiratory arrest</b> (stopping of heart and breathing).</p>
<p>Data will be collected during the endoscopic session and shortly afterward to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the high‑flow oxygen approach compared with the standard method, with the goal of improving patient safety during these procedures.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study involves healthy children who need sedation for non-invasive imaging procedures. <b>Sedation</b> means using medication to help children stay calm and still during medical tests. The medication being tested is <b>dexmedetomidine</b>, which will be given through the nose rather than through an injection. This medicine is normally given through a vein, but this study will examine whether giving it through the nose can work well for children who need imaging tests such as scans. The children in this study will be between 6 months and 12 years old and weigh less than 30 kilograms.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to find out how well intranasal dexmedetomidine works for sedating children during imaging procedures. The study will look at whether one dose of the medication is enough to provide adequate sedation, or whether some children need a second dose. The researchers will measure how quickly the sedation begins after giving the medication and how long the sedation lasts. They will also track how long the imaging procedure takes, how long children wait before the procedure starts, and how long the total hospital visit lasts.</p>
<p>During the study, the medication will be given through the nose before the imaging procedure begins. The medical team will watch the children carefully to see how well the sedation works and to check for any unwanted effects. The study will also record any side effects that occur. All children participating will receive the active medication, as this study does not include a placebo group. The information gathered will help doctors understand whether this method of giving dexmedetomidine is a good option for sedating children during imaging procedures.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on patients undergoing a procedure called <b>bronchoscopy</b>, which is used to diagnose and manage various lung diseases. During this procedure, a flexible tube is inserted into the airways to allow doctors to see inside the lungs. To make the procedure more comfortable, a combination of medications is used to help patients relax and reduce pain, a process known as <b>analgosedation</b>.</p>
<p>The study aims to compare the safety and effectiveness of two different medication combinations used during bronchoscopy. The first combination includes <b>Propofol</b> and <b>Pethidine</b>, while the second combination includes <b>Midazolam</b> and Pethidine. Propofol and Midazolam are medications that help with sedation, making patients feel sleepy and relaxed, while Pethidine is a pain reliever. The study will be conducted by medical staff at San Donato Hospital in Arezzo.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will receive one of the two medication combinations during their bronchoscopy. The main goal is to assess how well each combination works in terms of safety and effectiveness, particularly looking at how often patients experience low oxygen levels during the procedure. Other factors, such as any side effects, how well patients tolerate the procedure, and the time it takes to complete, will also be evaluated. The study will help determine which combination of medications provides the best balance of comfort and safety for patients undergoing bronchoscopy.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on the effectiveness of different types of <i>anaesthesia</i> during a procedure called external version, which is used to change the position of a baby in the womb from a breech or sideways position to a head-down position. The study compares two methods: <i>spinal anaesthesia</i> and <i>sedation</i>. The main goal is to determine if spinal anaesthesia leads to a higher success rate in repositioning the baby compared to sedation.</p>
<p>The study involves the use of two medications: <i>Midazolam</i>, also known by its code name <i>USL-261</i>, which is used for sedation, and <i>Bupivacaine</i>, which is used for spinal anaesthesia. Midazolam is administered as a solution for injection or infusion, while Bupivacaine is given as an injectable solution. Participants in the study will receive either spinal anaesthesia or sedation during the procedure, and the outcomes will be compared to see which method is more effective.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, participants will be monitored for the success of the procedure, which is defined as the baby being in a head-down position after the procedure. Additionally, any side effects related to the procedure or the anaesthesia, such as changes in blood pressure or heart rate, will be recorded. The study aims to provide valuable information on the best anaesthesia method to use for this procedure, potentially improving outcomes for both mothers and babies.</p>
