Not Applicable

• Conditions: Pain; Anesthesia

• Registration Number: NCT04691076

Brief Summary

Purpose: 1. To determine the efficacy of low-dose esketamine in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. 2. To determine the safety of low-dose esketamine in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. 3. To provide a theoretical basis and new ideas for the application of esketamine as a new drug in perioperative period.

Detailed Description

Keeping spontaneous breathing anesthesia can provide patients with comfortable diagnosis and treatment experience during gastrointestinal endoscopy, which is a vital prerequisite for the large-scale development of this operation as well as the early screening and treatment of gastrointestinal malignancies. Clinically, fentanyl combined with propofol is the most commonly used anesthesia regimen for the painless gastroscopy, however its high incidence of respiratory and circulatory depression will threaten the safety of patients. Instead, esketamine has a good action in anesthesia and analgesics, a slighter respiratory depression, as well as with a remarkable improvement in adverse effects than ketamine. What has already been proved is that low- dose of esketamine can remarkably reduce the dosage of propofol during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography; In our pilot study, we found that not only the incidence of respiratory depression was significantly lower than that of fentanyl during endoscopic polypectomy, but also the dosage of propofol was reduced at the same time,suggesting that esketamine may have a potential superiority in the painless gastrointestinal endoscopy.Our project plans to collect the patients who have received painless gastroscopy and polypectomy in the hospital, and use a target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol in combination with esketamine, by observing the total dose of propofol , the time of recovery and the length of hospital stay, the satisfaction of patients and endoscopists, drug side effects,adverse events of respiratory and circulatory system and other indicators ,to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this anesthetic scheme.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Propofol/Esketamine sedation	Propofol	Propofol target-controlled infusion is performed first,when the infusion concentration reaches 1.5μg/ml,esketamine 0.15mg/kg is injected intravenously;then the dose is adjusted according to the depth of anesthesia and the modified observer's assessment of alert /sedation scale, and propofol target-controlled infusion for every increase of 5μg/ml in concentration, the corresponding increase of esketamine is 0.05mg/kg; the total dose of esketamine used in surgery shall not exceed 0.5mg/kg.

Propofol/Fentanyl sedation	Propofol	Propofol target-controlled infusion is performed first.When the infusion concentration reaches 1.5μg/ml, fentanyl 0.6μg/kg is injected intravenously; then the dose is adjusted according to the depth of anesthesia and the modified observer's assessment of alert /sedation scale, and propofol target-controlled infusion for every increase of 5μg/ml in concentration,the corresponding increase of fentanyl is 0.2ug/kg; the total dose of fentanyl used in surgery shall not exceed 1.2ug/kg.
Propofol/Fentanyl sedation	Fentanyl	Propofol target-controlled infusion is performed first.When the infusion concentration reaches 1.5μg/ml, fentanyl 0.6μg/kg is injected intravenously; then the dose is adjusted according to the depth of anesthesia and the modified observer's assessment of alert /sedation scale, and propofol target-controlled infusion for every increase of 5μg/ml in concentration,the corresponding increase of fentanyl is 0.2ug/kg; the total dose of fentanyl used in surgery shall not exceed 1.2ug/kg.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cumulative propofol Consumption	intraoperative	Total amount of propofol administered intraoperatively

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The number of patients'body movement during operation	During the operation	Record the patient's body movement during the operation, which reflects the level of sedation.
The incidence of adverse events in pulmonary and circulatory systems	During the operation	Pulmonary incidents include:Decreased blood oxygen saturation (SpO2 drops to 75%\~90%, duration \<60s);Severe decrease in blood oxygen saturation (SpO2\<90%, duration\>60s; or SpO2\<75%);Obstruction of the airways occurs and requires the use of jaw manipulation or emergency airway equipment.; Cardiovascular incidents include: Bradycardia or tachycardia; Arterial blood pressure increased or decreased by more than 20% of the baseline; Other matters requiring urgent attention.
The incidence of side effects of esketamine	Intraoperative	Record the adverse effects of esketamine such as dizziness, nausea, etc.
Time of recovery, post-anaesthesia care unit and discharge from hospital	procedure ( the end of endoscopy removal)	When the patient is successfully resuscitated,record the time in post-anaesthesia care unit and the time when the discharge standards are met.
The satisfaction of the endoscopist and patient	24 hours after surgery	Patients fill out questionnaires before and after surgery to record pain, sedation levels, and side effects (such as nausea and dizziness) to assess their satisfaction,meanwhile,telephone calls can be made one day after the surgery to evaluate their postoperative satisfaction.In addition, the satisfaction of the endoscopist with the sedation level could also recorded on a questionnaire after the operation.
