Brief summary

As an invasive operation, gastroscopy will cause children's nervousness, anxiety and uncooperative behavior, and even lead to the risk of bleeding and perforation, which will also affect the accuracy of the examination results.The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of different doses of esketamine on the induced dose ED95 of remazolam during gastroscopic placement in children, and to provide theoretical basis for the combined use of remimazolam besylate and esketamine in gastroscopic anesthesia in children.

Detailed description

Children aged 3-12 who underwent gastroscopy were randomly divided into two groups: L group with Esketamine 0.25mg/kg and the initial dose of Remimazolam was 0.3mg/kg ,M group with Esketamine 0.5mg/kg and the initial dose of Remimazolam was 0.2mg/kg.Judging whether the sedation level of the children can meet the requirements of gastroscopy placement after injecting Remimazolam.The next dose was adjusted to 0.05mg/kg according to biased coin design,to further explore the induced dose of ED95 of Remimazolam under the background of different doses of Esketamine.

Interventions

DRUGRemimazolam besylate and low-dose Esketamine

Esketamine was injected intravenously 0.25mg/kg and the initial dose of Remimazolam was 0.3mg/kg

DRUGRemimazolam besylate and Medium dose Esketamine

Esketamine was injected intravenously 0.5mg/kg and the initial dose of Remimazolam was 0.2mg/kg

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Sedation induction timeduring anaesthetic inductionthe patients' unresponsiveness to the mild shaking of their shoulder

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Modified observer's assessment of alertness#sedation#MOAA/S#scale1 minutes after single intravenous bolus remimazolam5#Subject responds readily to name spoken in a normal tone; 4 #Lethargic response of a subject to a name spoken in a normal tone; 3 #The subject responds only after a name is called loudly and repeatedly; 2 #The subject responds only after mild prodding or shaking; 1 #The subject responds only after a painful trapezius squeeze; 0 #The subject does not respond to painful trapezius squeeze. MOAA/S score ≤ 2 points represent successful sedation
Recovery timesWithin up to 30 minutes after operationThe time from discontinuation of anesthesia drug to the first open eye of the children and to achieve aldrete≥9
VAS(The difficulty of gastroscope insertion)Moment of endoscopic insertionVAS values range from 0 to 10. A value of 0 represents that gastroscopy placement is very easy.and 10 represents that gastroscopy placement is very difficult.
