Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the anesthetic effect of remazolam when combined with sufentanil in elderly patients with liver cirrhosis and esophageal and gastric varices undergoing endoscopic sclerotherapy.Methods:A total of 150 cirrhotic patients with liver cirrhosis and esophageal and gastric varices, regardless of gender, aged 65-80 yr, with body mass index of 18-24 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱor Ⅲ, who underwent endoscopic sclerotherapy under non-intubated general anesthesia from March 2022 to September 2023 in our hospital, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=75 each) by a random number table method: sufentanil plus propofol group (PS group) and sufentanil plus remazolam group (RS group). Anesthesia was induced with intravenous propofol 1-2 mg/kg and sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg and maintained by intravenous infusion of propofol 4-10 mg·kg -1·h -1 in PS group. Anesthesia was induced with intravenous remimazolam 0.1-0.2 mg/kg and sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg and was maintained with intravenous infusion of remimazolam 0.5-2.0 mg·kg -1·h -1 in RS group. BIS values were maintained between 40 and 60 during operation in both groups. Endoscopy was placed when the patients lost consciousness (modified observer′s assessment of alertness/sedation score ≤1). Sclerosing agent laurosinol injection was injected into esophageal submucosal varices in both groups. The time to loss of consciousness and recovery of consciousness, intraoperative body movement and cardiovascular events, and postoperative hypoxemia and nausea and vomiting were recorded. The operator-patient satisfaction was assessed by the visual analogue scale. Results:Compared with PS group, no significant changes were found in the incidence of intraoperative bradycardia, time to loss of consciousness and time to recovery of consciousness( P>0.05), the incidence of intraoperative hypotension was significantly decreased, the incidence of postoperative hypoxemia and nausea and vomiting was decreased, and the satisfaction scores for operators and patients were increased in RS group ( P<0.05). No obvious body movement was found in the two groups. Conclusions:Sufentanil combined with remifentanil provides better anesthetic effect than sufentanil combined with propofol in elderly patients with esophageal and gastric varices undergoing endoscopic sclerotherapy.
