Fospropofol Disodium ED95 for Elderly Spinal Anesthesia Sedation
Sponsor: Ya-Qun Zhou
Summary
This study aims to determine the 95% effective dose (ED95) of fospropofol disodium, a new sedative drug, for adjuvant sedation during spinal anesthesia in elderly patients (aged 65 years and older) undergoing lower extremity surgery (e.g., hip/knee replacement, lower limb fracture fixation).

Fospropofol Disodium
The initial induction dose is 6.0mg/kg, with a dose gradient of 0.5mg/kg (range: 4.0-8.0mg/kg). Sedation success is defined as a Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) score ≤3 within 3 minutes after drug administration. Dose adjustment follows the k=3 sequential design: ① 3 consecutive successes → next patient receives a 0.5mg/kg lower dose; ② 1 failure → next patient receives a 0.5mg/kg higher dose; ③ 2 consecutive failures → skip the next gradient. Immediately after successful induction (MOAA/S ≤3 within 3 minutes), continuous infusion of fospropofol disodium for sedation maintenance will be initiated. The initial maintenance rate is 6.0mg/kg/h, with a gradient of 0.5mg/kg/h (range: 3.0-7.5mg/kg/h). Maintenance success is defined as MOAA/S score ≤3 in ≥4 of 6 assessments (once every 10 minutes). Dose adjustment follows the k=3 sequential design: ① 3 consecutive successes → next patient receives a 0.5mg/kg/h lower rate; ② 1 failure → next patient receives a 0.
