Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Heart rateFrom baseline (before the injection of propofol or mixture of propofol and etomidate) to 10 min after the injectionHeart rate will be recorded immediately when the patient arrived at the operating room, 2 min, 4 min, 6 min, 8 min and 10 minutes after the the injection of propofol or mixture of propofol and etomidate.
Blood pressureFrom baseline (before the injection of propofol or mixture of propofol and etomidate) to 10 min after the injectionBlood pressure will be recorded immediately when the patient arrived at the operating room, 2 min, 4 min, 6 min, 8 min and 10 minutes after the the injection of propofol or mixture of propofol and etomidate.
Pulse oxygen saturationFrom baseline (before the injection of propofol or mixture of propofol and etomidate) to 10 min after the injectionPulse oxygen saturation will be recorded immediately when the patient arrived at the operating room, 2 min, 4 min, 6 min, 8 min and 10 minutes after the the injection of propofol or mixture of propofol and etomidate.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Aldrete score10 min after the opration
Efficacy of anesthesiafrom baseline to discharge from the hospital, expected to no more than 1 hourThe following point-in-time will be recorded to calculated the period from the injection of propofol or mixture of propofol and etomidate: disappearance of eyelash reflex, injection of supplementary propofol or mixture of propofol and etomidate, awaking, obeying commands, discharge. Anesthesia time was defined as the period from disappearance of eyelash reflex to awaking.
Satisfaction degree of the patient, the surgeon and the anesthetist10 min before discharge from the hospitalSatisfaction degree will be rated as excellent, good and poor based on a scale of 1 to 10. Excellent is 8 to 10, good is 5 to 7 and poor is 1 to 4.
Verbal rating scales of uterine contractionfrom 5 min after the operation to discharge from the hospital, expected to be no more than 1 hourVerbal rating scales of uterine contraction should be recorded at 5 min, 15 min after the operation and before discharge from the hospital
Dose of propofol or mixture of propofol and etomidatefrom the injection of propofol or mixture of propofol and etomidate to the last supplement of hypnotic agents, expected to be no more than 5 min
Use of specific medicationsfrom the injection of propofol or mixture of propofol and etomidte to discharge from the hospital, expected to no more than 1 hour
