Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age between 60 and 75 years old, gender not restricted; 2. Patients planning to undergo painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy (gastroscopy combined with colonoscopy); 3. ASA score ranging from grade I to grade III; 4. BMI between 18 kg/m^2 and 28 kg/m^2; 5. The estimated operation time of gastroscopy and colonoscopy is no more than 30 minutes; 6. The patient fully understands and voluntarily participates in this study, and has signed the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Complex endoscopic diagnosis and treatment procedures are required: such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic mucosal resection, endoscopic submucosal dissection, oropharyngeal endoscopic myotomy, etc.; 2. Patients who are scheduled for tracheal intubation; 3. Patients who are determined to have difficult respiratory management (modified Mallory score level IV); 4. Patients with a previous history of anemia or thrombocytopenia, and whose test results still show abnormal indicators: hemoglobin (Hb) = 2.5×upper limit of normal (ULN), or total bilirubin (TBIL) >= 1.5×ULN, or serum creatinine (Scr) > ULN; 7. Patients who had a history of drug abuse and/or alcoholism within 2 years before the screening examination, and alcoholism is defined as an average daily alcohol consumption of more than 2 units (1 unit = 360 mL of beer or 45 mL of 40% alcohol liquor or 150 mL of wine); 8. Hypertensive patients whose blood pressure has not been satisfactorily controlled by antihypertensive drugs (sitting systolic blood pressure >= 160 mmHg during the screening period, and/or sitting diastolic blood pressure >= 100 mmHg during the screening period); 9. Sitting systolic blood pressure <= 90 mmHg during the screening period; 10. Patients allergic or contraindicated to benzodiazepines, opioids, propofol, etomidate, lidocaine and its components; 11.

The investigator deems that the patient is not suitable to participate in this study for any other reason.
