Clinical trials

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two sedation regimens-remimazolam and midazolam-for colonoscopy in adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does remimazolam provide patient satisfaction that is non-inferior to midazolam during colonoscopy? * Does remimazolam allow faster recovery and discharge readiness compared to midazolam? Researchers will compare sedation with remimazolam plus fentanyl to sedation with midazolam plus fentanyl to see if remimazolam improves patient experience and procedural efficiency. Participants will: * Receive either remimazolam or midazolam, each combined with fentanyl, during their scheduled colonoscopy * Complete a short questionnaire to rate their satisfaction after the procedure * Be assessed for recovery using a standardized discharge score at 10 and 20 minutes after the procedure

The mini fluid challenge (mini\_FC) is a functional hemodynamic test which has been used in different clinical contexts to assess fluid responsiveness. This test is performed by rapidly injecting a small aliquot of fluid (100 ml over 1 minute), which is followed by the infusion of the residual aliquot of fluid. Since the threshold of the mini\_FC identified by the literature is rather small (5% of stroke volume (SV) increase after the 100 ml bolus to discriminate between responder and non-responder), it is crucial that the hemodynamic tool assessing this change could be reliable. Moreover, the SV changes with inspiratory/expiratory movements and the increase after the mini\_FC should also consider the physiological fluctuations of the SV. In the literature this test has been performed by means of tolls with different least significant change of the SV. The least significant change (LSC) represents the smallest difference between successive measurements of SV that can be considered to be a real change and not attributable to chance. The purpose of this study is to assess the agreement among MOSTCARE system (4.5\& of SV LSC described in the literature) and the echocardiography (about 10% of SV LSC described in the literature) with the PICCO system (about 1% of SV LSC described in the literature - considered the gold standard) in discriminating fluid responsiveness after a mini\_FC

The goal of this observational study is to compare the real-life effectiveness and safety of vedolizumab, ustekinumab and JAK inhibitors in patients with UC who had been exposed to at least one anti-TNF-alpha therapy.

Personalzing intraoperative anesthetic fluid management may help in preventing fluid accumulation and related complications. Fluids are gine as boluses in operating room (the so-called FC). The response to the FC is due to several physiological conditions related to the "preload dependency" (i.e. the intrinsic ability of the heart of increasing the stroke volume - SV - in response to fluid administration). The minimal volume required to appropriately "challenge" the cardiovascular system is 4 ml/kg of fluid, but higher volumes (up to 6 ml/kg may be needed). Predicting the response to FC administration may be possible by applying a physiological test (called functional hemodynamic test), such as the end-expiratory occlusion test, consisting in interrupping the mechanical ventilation and hence promoting venous return and consequente SV changes. The percentage of SV increase associated to EEOT may predict fluid responsiveness to the FC (patients responders will increase SV to a bigger extent, as compared to non-responders)
