Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to investigate the incidence of euphoria induced by remimazolam during gastrointestinal endoscopy and explore its related factors. Gastrointestinal endoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure, often causes discomfort and anxiety for patients. Remimazolam, a short-acting benzodiazepine, is increasingly used for sedation during these procedures due to its rapid onset, short metabolism, and controlled cardiorespiratory effects. This cross-sectional study will evaluate the effect of remimazolam on patient comfort, cooperation, and satisfaction during endoscopy, aiming to optimize sedation protocols and improve clinical outcomes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Remimazolam Sedation Group

his cohort includes patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy (gastroscopy, colonoscopy, or both) who receive sedation with remimazolam. The study aims to evaluate the incidence of euphoria induced by remimazolam and explore related factors. All patients receive sedation according to standard clinical guidelines, including pre-procedural sufentanil and lidocaine gel for oral preparation, followed by remimazolam for induction and maintenance.

Data collected include demographic characteristics, pre- and post-procedure euphoria scores assessed using the ARCI-MBG scale, perioperative safety indicators, and patient satisfaction.

Remimazolam for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Sedation

Intervention Type DRUG

This intervention involves the use of remimazolam, a short-acting benzodiazepine, for sedation during gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures (gastroscopy, colonoscopy, or both). Remimazolam is administered intravenously at an initial dose of 0.2-0.3 mg/kg, followed by additional doses of 2.5 mg as needed to maintain adequate sedation (MOAA/S score ≤ 2).

Unlike other benzodiazepines, remimazolam is rapidly metabolized by plasma esterases, resulting in a quick onset and recovery with minimal respiratory and cardiovascular depression. The study specifically evaluates the euphoria-inducing potential of remimazolam, using the ARCI-MBG scale pre- and post-procedure to assess its effect on patient comfort and satisfaction.
