Brief summary
Nociception is the encoding and processing of noxious stimulation and is considered an objective indicator for monitoring pain. Currently, a new clinically-applied medical-engineering integrated monitoring device for noxious stimulation response has emerged. Its fundamental principle is based on the monitoring of electroencephalographic (EEG) activity, incorporating two monitoring parameters: the quantitative consciousness (qCON) index and the quantitative nociceptive (qNOX) index. However, in the context of sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy, how the dynamic changes of the quantitative consciousness index (qCON) and the quantitative nociception index (qNOX) reflect the depth of sedation and nociceptive response remains unclear. Safe and effective sedation monitoring includes both direct visual monitoring and physiological monitoring, that is, monitoring the patient's hemodynamics and depth of sedation. This study utilizes qCON and qNOX monitoring to assess the sedation and analgesic states of patients undergoing painless gastroenterological endoscopy. By combining visual assessment (cough reflex, respiratory depression, and limb movement) with clinical physiological monitoring (vital signs monitoring and pulse oximetry), the aim is to explore the optimal sedation range for gastrointestinal endoscopy under sedation, providing new anesthesia monitoring tools for clinical use.
Detailed description
This is a single-center, prospective, observational clinical study. Study Objective: To explore the optimal sedation quality for painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. Study Protocol: A total of 220 patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy were selected, with 110 patients undergoing gastroscopy and 110 patients undergoing colonoscopy. The bispectral index monitor (Apollo-9000A) was used to monitor the qCON and qNOX values of patients during the painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. The changes in qCON, qNOX, SBP (systolic blood pressure), DBP (diastolic blood pressure), MAP (mean arterial pressure), HR (heart rate), SpO2 (peripheral capillary oxygen saturation), and MOAA/S (Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation) scores at different time points during gastroscopy and colonoscopy were observed and recorded. The occurrence of adverse events during and after the examinations was also documented.
Interventions
DEVICEEEG monitoring
During gastrointestinal endoscopy, electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring will be conducted using qCON and qNOX technologies to assess patients' sedation and analgesia status while they undergo painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. This will be combined with visual assessments (such as cough reflex, respiratory depression, and limb movement) and clinical physiological monitoring (including vital signs and pulse oximetry) to explore and establish a stable and optimal depth of sedation for anesthesia.
