Abstract:Objective Toexplorethesafetyandefficacyofremimazolamtosylateinlaparoscopiccholecystectomy (LC).Methods Atotalof80elderlypatientsscheduledforLCintheFirstPeople'sHospitalofLiangshanYiAutonomous PrefecturefromJune2023toJune2024 wereselectedanddividedintotheexperimentalgroupandthecontrolgroupby randomnumbertable method.Thetwogroupsreceivedremimazolamtosylateandpropofolforanesthesiainductionand maintenance,respectively.Theintraoperativesedativeeffect,anesthesiarecovery [extubationtime,eyeopeningtime, respiratoryrecoverytime,postanesthesiacareunit(PACU)retentiontime,andRamsayscoreduringrecovery]aswellas meanarterialpressure (MAP),heartrate (HR)andbispectralindex (BIS)atdifferentperioperativetimepointswere comparedbetweengroups.Thedosagesofanestheticdrugsandadversereactionsofanesthesiawerecounted.Results The successrateofsedationinbothgroupswas100%.Therewerenointraoperativeawarenessandseriouscomplicationsinboth groups.Thetimeoflossofconsciousness,disappearancetimeofeyelashreflex,timeofBISfallingto60,extubationtime, eyeopeningtime,respiratoryrecoverytimeandPACUretentiontimeintheexperimentalgroupwereshorterthanthosein thecontrolgroup,andtheRamsayscoreduringrecoverywashigherthanthatinthecontrolgroup(P<0.05).TheMAP andHRatinductioncompletion(T1)andaftertrachealintubation(T2)inbothgroupswerereducedcomparedwiththose beforeanesthesiainduction(T0)(P<0.05).At3minaftertrachealintubation(T3),theMAPinbothgroupsreturnedto thelevelatT0,butthedifferencebetweengroupswasnotstatisticallysignificant(P>0.05),whiletheHRwashigherthan thatatT0(P<0.05).TheBISatT1,T2andT3inbothgroupswaslowerthanthatatT0(P<0.05),andmaintaineda stabletrend.TheMAPandHRatT1andT2intheexperimentalgroupwerehigherthanthoseinthecontrolgroup(P<0.05).
