Abstract
AIM
To investigate the clinical effects of intravenous anesthesia with etomidate plus propofol for deep sedation during subpyloric endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS).
METHODS
We recruited 60 patients who would undergo subpyloric EUS examination. They were randomly allocated into three groups to receive intravenous etomidate alone (group E, n = 20), intravenous propofol alone (group P, n = 20) and etomidate combined with propofol (group EP, n = 20), respectively. The change of patients' vital signs, examination duration, time to awakening, and adverse effects were observed.
RESULTS
There was no significant difference in the onset time of anesthesia, examination duration or time to awakening among all groups (P > 0.05). There was a significant circulatory fluctuation in group E and group P. In group E, 7 cases had myoclonus and a total of 15 cases developed adverse effects, and the rates of myoclonus and overall adverse effects were significantly higher than those in the other two groups (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Intravenous anesthesia with etomidate plus propofol can be safely and effectively applied to ubpyloric EUS with few adverse effects.
