Summary

104 patients who undergo painless colonoscopy from Decemenber 1,2019 to June 30,2022 will be randomized to two groups: propofol group and dexmedetomidine group. In the dexmedetomidine group,dexmedetomidine was infusion intravenously with a loading dose of 0.5 μg kg-1 for 10 min, then infusion at 0.3 μg kg-1 h-1 according to the ideal body weight of the patient until the end of colonoscopy. In the propofol group, Propofol was administrated 1 mg kg-1 intravenously, then titrated given by 0.5 mg kg-1 during the whole process.

Detailed description

104 patients who undergo painless colonoscopy from Decemenber 1,2019 to June 30,2022 will be randomized to two groups: propofol group and dexmedetomidine group. In the dexmedetomidine group,dexmedetomidine was infusion intravenously with a loading dose of 0.5 μg kg-1 for 10 min, then infusion at 0.3 μg kg-1 h-1 according to the ideal body weight of the patient until the end of colonoscopy. In the propofol group, Propofol was administrated 1 mg kg-1 intravenously, then titrated given by 0.5 mg kg-1.For all patients, if Ramsay sedation scale score reached 3, colonoscope was inserted. During the whole process, maintenance Ramsay score of 3 to 4. Propofol 10 mg was administrated as the rescue dose if body movement occurred during colonoscopy The primary outcome was the occurrence of hypotension. Secondary outcomes included the followings:(1) the duration and the maximum decreasing in BP. The time-weighted average which is measured by calculating the area under the threshold (AUT) divided by the total duration of colonoscopy. AUT = (depth of hypotension below a 20% decrease in systolic blood pressure or diastolic blood pressure from pre-procedure baseline or SBP of 90 mm Hg or DBP of 50 mm Hg× time in minutes spent of hypotension); (2) the incidence of bradycardia and hypoxemia, mask-assisted ventilation and body movement；(3) the discharge time , patients and endoscopists satisfaction score.

If Ramsay sedation scale score reached 3, colonoscope was inserted. During the whole process, maintenance Ramsay score of 3 to 4. Propofol 10 mg was administrated as the rescue dose if body movement occurred during colonoscopy. In the propofol group, propofol was administrated 1 mg kg-1 intravenously, then titrated given by 0.5 mg kg-1 until Ramsay score reached 3. During the whole process, propofol was given intermittently to maintain Ramsay score 3 to 4. If body movement happened, propofol 10mg was administrated every time.
