Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of propofol-related euphoriapreoperatively , within half an hour after the operation, postoperative days 1 ,3 and 7Subjects were asked in person or through telephone follow-up, To what extent do you think you are feeling pleasure and euphoria now?. The NRS is a numerical rating scale (NRS) that represents feelings of euphoria on a scale of 0-10, with 0 being no feelings of euphoria at all and 10 being the strongest feelings of euphoria.
Severity of propofol-related euphoriapreoperatively , within half an hour after the operation, postoperative days 1,3 and 7Subjects were asked in person or via telephone follow-up, Has your pleasant, euphoric mood changed now compared to before surgery? , using the Likert questionnaire score (5-Point Likert Scale, Likert): 0 indicates that the mood is significantly worse than before; 1 indicates that the mood is mildly worse than before; 2 indicates that there is no change in euphoria; 3 indicates that there is a mild euphoria; and 4 indicates that there is a markedly euphoric mood.
Duration of propofol-related euphoriawithin half an hour after the operation, postoperative days 1 ,3 and 7Postoperatively, subjects were asked about changes in mood compared to baseline values by the same method, and their duration was confirmed.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The number of times of sleep in the 72h postoperative periodPostoperative days 1 and 3The number of times of sleep were asked and recorded during the 72h period after painless gastrointestinal endoscopy by telephone follow-up.
the duration of each sleep in the 72h postoperative periodPostoperative days 1 and 3The duration of each sleep were asked and recorded during the 72h period after painless gastrointestinal endoscopy by telephone follow-up.
Anxiety levelpreoperatively , within half an hour after the operation, postoperative days 1,3 and 7Face-to-face questioning or follow-up via telephone, questioning the disease to record the anxiety level, using the NRS rating, which represents the anxiety level through ten numbers from 0-10, with 0 being no anxiety at all and 10 being the most intense anxiety.
Perioperative adverse eventsWithin half an hour after the operation, postoperative days 1,3 and 7. If the adverse events had not disappeared by T7d, telephone follow-up was conducted every 3d thereafter until the adverse events were resolved.In-person questioning or telephone follow-up, using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0, to determine perioperative adverse events and assess the severity of the adverse events against the feedback collected from the subjects.
the quality of sleep each time in the 72h postoperative periodPostoperative days 1 and 3Ask for and record the quality of sleep each time through telephone follow-ups The quality of sleep was categorized into five grades of very good, good, fair, bad, and very bad . Each grade corresponds to 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 points.
Subject satisfaction with the quality of perioperative anesthesiaat postoperative days 1 after the subject had recovered from all adverse events, if the subject did not have a perioperative adverse eventAssessment method: in person or through telephone follow-up, the subjects were asked to measure their satisfaction with the intraoperative and postoperative resuscitation periods as well as the entire period after discharge, which was rated by NRS, and satisfaction was represented by ten numbers from 0-10, with 0 being unsatisfactory and 10 being the most satisfactory.
Content of Memory of Intraoperative DreamsWithin half an hour after the operationIf the subject was able to recall the dream, the dream was rated on a Likert questionnaire: 1. the mood of the dream: 1-5, 1 as very sad, 5 as very happy; 2. the extent to which the dream was remembered; 1-5, 1 as not remembering at all, 5 as remembering at all: 3. the sounds in the dream: 1-5, 1 as not at all, 5 as all of them; 4. the movements in the dream: 1-5 1 for not at all, 5 for all of them. Calculate the sum of the Dreamland Likert questionnaire scores.
