Brief summary

Purpose: 1. To determine the efficacy of low-dose esketamine in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. 2. To determine the safety of low-dose esketamine in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. 3. To provide a theoretical basis and new ideas for the application of esketamine as a new drug in perioperative period.

Detailed description

Keeping spontaneous breathing anesthesia can provide patients with comfortable diagnosis and treatment experience during gastrointestinal endoscopy, which is a vital prerequisite for the large-scale development of this operation as well as the early screening and treatment of gastrointestinal malignancies. Clinically, fentanyl combined with propofol is the most commonly used anesthesia regimen for the painless gastroscopy, however its high incidence of respiratory and circulatory depression will threaten the safety of patients. Instead, esketamine has a good action in anesthesia and analgesics, a slighter respiratory depression, as well as with a remarkable improvement in adverse effects than ketamine. What has already been proved is that low- dose of esketamine can remarkably reduce the dosage of propofol during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography; In our pilot study, we found that not only the incidence of respiratory depression was significantly lower than that of fentanyl during endoscopic polypectomy, but also the dosage of propofol was reduced at the same time,suggesting that esketamine may have a potential superiority in the painless gastrointestinal endoscopy.Our project plans to collect the patients who have received painless gastroscopy and polypectomy in the hospital, and use a target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol in combination with esketamine, by observing the total dose of propofol , the time of recovery and the length of hospital stay, the satisfaction of patients and endoscopists, drug side effects,adverse events of respiratory and circulatory system and other indicators ,to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this anesthetic scheme.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cumulative propofol ConsumptionintraoperativeTotal amount of propofol administered intraoperatively

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The incidence of adverse events in pulmonary and circulatory systemsDuring the operationPulmonary incidents include:Decreased blood oxygen saturation (SpO2 drops to 75%\ 90%, duration \<60s);Severe decrease in blood oxygen saturation (SpO2\<90%, duration\>60s; or SpO2\<75%);Obstruction of the airways occurs and requires the use of jaw manipulation or emergency airway equipment. Cardiovascular incidents include: Bradycardia or tachycardia; Arterial blood pressure increased or decreased by more than 20% of the baseline; Other matters requiring urgent attention.
Time of recovery, post-anaesthesia care unit and discharge from hospitalprocedure ( the end of endoscopy removal)When the patient is successfully resuscitated,record the time in post-anaesthesia care unit and the time when the discharge standards are met.
The incidence of side effects of esketamineIntraoperativeRecord the adverse effects of esketamine such as dizziness, nausea, etc.
The number of patients'body movement during operationDuring the operationRecord the patient's body movement during the operation, which reflects the level of sedation.
The satisfaction of the endoscopist and patient24 hours after surgeryPatients fill out questionnaires before and after surgery to record pain, sedation levels, and side effects (such as nausea and dizziness) to assess their satisfaction,meanwhile,telephone calls can be made one day after the surgery to evaluate their postoperative satisfaction.In addition, the satisfaction of the endoscopist with the sedation level could also recorded on a questionnaire after the operation.
