Brief summary

1. The combined induction of intubation with propofol and remifentanil is widely used in clinical anesthesia, primarily through a single intravenous injection. Target-controlled infusion (TCI) technology, which combines pharmacology with clinical practice, offers a more stable and precise infusion mode; 2. This project aims to explore the half-effective concentration (EC50) of propofol combined with remifentanil for inhibiting tracheal intubation stimulation through a sequential approach under the monitoring of qNOX pain index.

Detailed description

Patients undergoing elective surgery, aged 19 to 55 years, with ASA I or II, were selected for a sequential trial in two stages: 1. In the first stage, induction dose of ciprofol was fixed at 0.4 mg/kg, and the EC50 and EC95 (exploratory) of remifentanil were measured. 2. In the second stage, the concentration of remifentanil was fixed, and the EC50 and EC95 (exploratory) of ciprofol were measured. The EC and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using the probit probability unit method. 3. Additionally, the effectiveness of the qNOX index in guiding tracheal intubation stimulation was evaluated by analyzing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients scheduled for elective surgery and require general anesthesia with single-lumen endotracheal intubation: ASA physical status I-II, aged between 18 and 55 years, with a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 30 kg/m2

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Half-effective concentrationCalculated using SPSS software based on the TCI target concentration set during anesthesia induction (the fixed value of the inducing dose does not change over time).
Heart rate1 min before intubation, during intubation (within 1~1.5 min) and 5 min after intubation (take the average of three measurements at each stage).
blood pressure1 min before intubation, during intubation (within 1~1.5 min) and 5 min after intubation (take the average of three measurements at each stage).
CCS score (intubation score)within 1 min while intubation (satisfactory intubation conditions simultaneously meet: visible laryngoscope exposure, no vocal cord movement, no coughing, relaxed jaw, no limb movement; otherwise, it is considered unsatisfactory intubation conditions)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
BIS index1 min before intubation, during intubation (within 1~1.5 min) and 5 min after intubation (take the average of three measurements at each stage).
qNOX index1 min before intubation, during intubation (within 1~1.5 min) and 5 min after intubation (take the average of three measurements at each stage).
EMG index1 min before intubation, during intubation (within 1~1.5 min) and 5 min after intubation (take the average of three measurements at each stage).
