Objective To observe the clinical effect of compound remifentanil etomidate on gastrointestinalendoscopy and treat-ment among aged patients .Methods Divided 400 aged patients who got painless gastrointestinalendoscopy and treatment into two groups ,where one was observation group(200 aged patients) that got compound remifentanil etomidate ,while the other was control group which got fentanyl combined propofol .Compared and observed two groups on oxyhemoglobin saturation ,heart rate ,systolic-pressure ,diastolic pressure ,incidence of adverse reaction ,recovery time ,and time of leaving operating room .Results There was no obvious difference between observation group and control group on oxyhemoglobin saturation ,heart rate ,systolicpressure ,diastolic pressure before examination(P>0 .05);while there was distinct difference between examining and reviving ,which showed statisti-cal significance(P<0 .05) .The incidences of bucking ,dysphoria ,respiratory depression ,nausea and vomiting ,and dizziness in the two groups respectively were 3% 、2% 、5% 、3% 、11% and 8% 、11% 、13% 、8% 、27% ,which indicated the incidence of adverse reac-tion in observation group was obviously lower than that of control group ,where there was statistical significance (P<0 .05) .The time of recovery and the time of leaving operating room in two groups respectively were (3 .5 ± 1 .3)min、(9 .5 ± 1 .5)min and (7 .5 ± 3 .4)min、(18 .5 ± 4 .6)min ,which showed the time of observation group was lesser than that of control group ,where there was sta-tistical significance(P<0 .05) .Conclusion During the gastrointestinalendoscopy to aged patients ,compound fentanyl etomidate was safety ,less adverse reaction ,efficiency ,and strong controllability .
