Brief Summary

Nociception is the encoding and processing of noxious stimulation and is considered an objective indicator for monitoring pain. Currently, a new clinically-applied medical-engineering integrated monitoring device for noxious stimulation response has emerged. Its fundamental principle is based on the monitoring of electroencephalographic (EEG) activity, incorporating two monitoring parameters: the quantitative consciousness (qCON) index and the quantitative nociceptive (qNOX) index. However, in the context of sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy, how the dynamic changes of the quantitative consciousness index (qCON) and the quantitative nociception index (qNOX) reflect the depth of sedation and nociceptive response remains unclear. Safe and effective sedation monitoring includes both direct visual monitoring and physiological monitoring, that is, monitoring the patient's hemodynamics and depth of sedation. This study utilizes qCON and qNOX monitoring to assess the sedation and analgesic states of patients undergoing painless gastroenterological endoscopy. By combining visual assessment (cough reflex, respiratory depression, and limb movement) with clinical physiological monitoring (vital signs monitoring and pulse oximetry), the aim is to explore the optimal sedation range for gastrointestinal endoscopy under sedation, providing new anesthesia monitoring tools for clinical use.

Study Arms (2)

Gastroscopy group

This study used an EEG bispectral index monitor (Apolo 9000A) to monitor quantitative consciousness (qCON) index and quantitative nociceptive (qNOX) index during gastroscopy. Anesthesia induction was performed using 1.5-2.5mg/kg propofol and 3-5 μ g sufentanil; The injection speed of propofol is between 120s and 180s. When the patient's consciousness disappears (the patient's eyelash reflex disappears, and there is no response to calls and external stimuli), and the Modified Alertness/Sedation (MOAAS) score is ≤ 1, gastroscopy examination will begin. During the examination, propofol 4-12mg/kg. h will be pumped to make MOAA/S ≤ 1, and there will be no body movement reaction.

Device: EEG monitoring

Colonoscopy group

This study used an EEG bispectral index monitor (Apolo 9000A) to monitor quantitative consciousness (qCON) index and quantitative nociceptive (qNOX) index during Colonoscopy. Anesthesia induction was performed using 1.5-2.5mg/kg propofol and 3-5 μ g sufentanil; The injection speed of propofol is between 120s and 180s. When the patient's consciousness disappears (the patient's eyelash reflex disappears, and there is no response to calls and external stimuli), and the Modified Alertness/Sedation (MOAAS) score is ≤ 1, Colonoscopy examination will begin. During the examination, propofol 4-12mg/kg. h will be pumped to make MOAA/S ≤ 1, and there will be no body movement reaction.

Device: EEG monitoring

Interventions

During gastrointestinal endoscopy, electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring will be conducted using qCON and qNOX technologies to assess patients\' sedation and analgesia status while they undergo painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. This will be combined with visual assessments (such as cough reflex, respiratory depression, and limb movement) and clinical physiological monitoring (including vital signs and pulse oximetry) to explore and establish a stable and optimal depth of sedation for anesthesia.
