Study on the Feelings of Euphoria Caused by Remimazolam During Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy and Their Related Factors
Sponsor: Zhangjie Yu
Summary
This study aims to investigate the incidence of euphoria induced by remimazolam during gastrointestinal endoscopy and explore its related factors. Gastrointestinal endoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure, often causes discomfort and anxiety for patients. Remimazolam, a short-acting benzodiazepine, is increasingly used for sedation during these procedures due to its rapid onset, short metabolism, and controlled cardiorespiratory effects. This cross-sectional study will evaluate the effect of remimazolam on patient comfort, cooperation, and satisfaction during endoscopy, aiming to optimize sedation protocols and improve clinical outcomes.

Interventions
Remimazolam for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Sedation
This intervention involves the use of remimazolam, a short-acting benzodiazepine, for sedation during gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures (gastroscopy, colonoscopy, or both). Remimazolam is administered intravenously at an initial dose of 0.2-0.3 mg/kg, followed by additional doses of 2.5 mg as needed to maintain adequate sedation (MOAA/S score ≤ 2). Unlike other benzodiazepines, remimazolam is rapidly metabolized by plasma esterases, resulting in a quick onset and recovery with minimal respiratory and cardiovascular depression. The study specifically evaluates the euphoria-inducing potential of remimazolam, using the ARCI-MBG scale pre- and post-procedure to assess its effect on patient comfort and satisfaction.
