- Brief Summary
Midazolam is a commonly used drug in gastrointestinal endoscopy due to the good cardiovascular stability and mild respiratory depression for elderly patients. However, there is the concern about the the longer and less predictable recovery or the potential for repeat sedation when the active metabolite becomes bioavailable. Remimazolam Tosilate is an innovative benzodiazepine with better sedation effect and less recovery or resedation issues than midazolam, which possibly make the drug more suitable in elderly patients. We aim to clarify whether remimazolam tosilate is better than midazolam in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy.
- Detailed Description
Before starting the endoscopy procedures, patients were randomized to receive remimazolam tosilate or midazolam to maintain sufficient sedation, then remifentanil was slowly injected for patients' sufficient analgesia during the examination. We aim to use patients' recovery time, cognition function and other measurement scales to clarify whether remimazolam tosilate is better than midazolam in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Group Intervention Description Remimazolam Tosilate group remimazolam tosilate group Patients received remimazolam tosilate to maintain sufficient sedation (sufficient sedation as judged by MOAA/S ≤ 4 for 3 consecutive measurements) during endoscopy procedure. And patients were slowly injected of 0.4 ug/kg of remifentanil for 1 min during the examination.When the analgesia was insufficient, Remifentanil can be added 5-10 ug each time according to the situation. Midazolam group Midazolam group Patients received midazolam to maintain sufficient sedation (sufficient sedation as judged by MOAA/S ≤ 4 for 3 consecutive measurements) during endoscopy procedure. And patients were slowly injected of 0.4 ug/kg of remifentanil for 1 min during the examination.When the analgesia was insufficient, Remifentanil can be added 5-10 ug each time according to the situation.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Recovery time after operation Day 0 First of 3 consecutive MOAA/S scores of 5 after the last injection of study drug.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Supine heart rate[HR] Day 0 Supine heart rate\[HR\] in (times)
Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation[MOAA/S] Day 0 MOAA/S score ranges from 0 to 5 points, 0 point means patients do not respond to noxious stimulation; 5 point means patients responds readily to name spoken in normal tone. When the Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation \[MOAA/S\] ≤4 that patients are sufficiently sedated.
Visual analogue scale (VAS) Day 0 The visual analogue scale (VAS) score ranges from 0 to 10 points (0mm means patients feel no pain, 100mm means patients feel the most severe pain imaginable)
Post-anesthesia discharge score (PADS) Record within 2 hours ，no more than 6 hours Post-anesthesia discharge score PADS score ranges from 0 to 10 points. only when the PADS score≥9 that will the patients leave the post-anesthesia care unit(PACU).
Perioperative anesthesia effect Day 0 Induction time（from the drug administration to the start of endoscopy insertion); procedure time(from the endoscopy insertion to the end of procedure);PACU last time(from the entry to PACU to the PADS score≥9).
Drug dosages Day 0 The total single dosage of midazolam, propofol, remifentanil and remimazolam tosilate.
Simple Intelligence Assessment Scale (mini-cog) Every 4 hours, up to 1 week. 1. Ask the subjects to listen carefully and memorize 3 unrelated words, and then repeat (Apple, Watch, Coin);
2. Ask the subjects to draw the shape of the clock on a blank sheet of paper, and give the subject a time to mark it on the clock (the CDT of the clock drawing test is correct; it can correctly indicate the sequence of the digits and display the given Fixed time);
3. Ask the subject to say the 3 words given previously.Patient overall satisfaction and surgeon satisfaction score Day 0 The patient's overall satisfaction score and surgeon satisfaction score were evaluated by 1-10 points (1mm=completely dissatisfied, 100mm=completely satisfied).
Systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure [MBP] Day 0 Systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure \[MBP\] in(mmHg)
Assessment of pulse oximetry measurements[SpO2] Day 0 Assessment of pulse oximetry measurements\[SpO2\]in(%)
Respiration rate[RR] Day 0 Respiration rate\[RR\] in (times)
End-tidal carbon dioxide [EtCO2] Day 0 End-tidal carbon dioxide \[EtCO2\] in (%)
Rate of coughing and vomiting Within 24 hours Rate of coughing and vomiting in（%）
Level of hypoxia Within 24 hours Oxygen saturation \<90% for more than 1 minute ，that share a common Unit of Measure in（%）
Respiratory depression Within 24 hours Respiratory rate \< 8 breaths per minute ,that share a common Unit of Measure in（times）
