Comparing Esketamine and Remazolam With Propofol for Breathing Safety in Pediatric Gastroscopy

Gastroscopy is important for diagnosing and treating upper gastrointestinal diseases in children. To ensure the procedure is safe and smooth, most children require sedation. Compared to adults, children have more fragile airways, lower lung capacity, and poorer oxygen reserves, making them more prone to breathing difficulties and low oxygen levels during sedation. Esketamine, a stronger form of ketamine, helps maintain heart rate and blood pressure and may reduce breathing-related risks. Remimazolam, a new short-acting sedative, acts quickly, allows faster recovery, and has a better safety profile than propofol-it doesn't cause breathing problems or injection pain. The safety and effectiveness of combining remimazolam with esketamine for pediatric gastroscopy have not been well studied. This research will compare this new combination with the traditional propofol-based approach to evaluate its potential benefits and safety in children.

A Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Methoxyethyl Etomidate Hydrochloride for Sedation/Anesthesia During Gastroscopy/Colonoscopy

A total of 270 subjects undergoing gastroscopy/colonoscopy were randomly assigned to the methoxetomidate hydrochloride group and the etomidate group according to the ratio of 2:1 with etomidate as the control group.Neither the investigators nor the subjects were aware of the group assignments. Screening assessments for all subjects will be completed within D-14 to D-2 before the first dose. For all subjects who received the investigational drug, they were required to return to the research center on D2-5 to complete the corresponding examination before being discharged from the group. Compared with etomidate, the efficacy and safety of Methoxyethyl Etomidate Hydrochloride for sedation/anesthesia in gastroscopy/colonoscopy were further evaluated.
