Brief Summary
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.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Success rate of gastroscopy/colonoscopy
From the time of bolus administration to the completion of gastroscopy/colonoscopy, the following two conditions were met simultaneously: (1) the number of additional doses within any 15 minutes was ≤5; (2) no use of rescue drugs.
Within approximately 1 hour after injection
Secondary Outcomes (10)
Sedation/anesthesia success rate
Within approximately 1 minute of the end of the injection
Duration of successful sedation/anesthesia
within approximately 1minute after injection
Duration from successful insertion to full consciousness
after approximately 30 minutes of the completion of the last injection
Duration from completion of experimental drug administration to full recovery
Within approximately 50 minutes of the completion of the last injection
The time from the end of treatment to full consciousness
Within approximately 60 minutes of the completion of the first injection
- +5 more secondary outcomes

Interventions
The initial dose was 0.8 mg/kg administered as a single IV infusion over a period of 1 minute ±5 seconds. If needed, up to 50% of the starting dose was increased (30-seconds ± 5-seconds bolus)
The initial dose was 0.3 mg/kg administered as a single IV infusion over a period of 1 minute ±5 seconds. If needed, up to 50% of the starting dose was increased (30-seconds ± 5-seconds bolus)
