Effects of ciprofol versus propofol sedation on hypoxaemia and hypotension in elderly patients undergoing bidirectional endoscopy: protocol for a randomized controlled trial
To evaluate the effects of ciprofol versus propofol on the incidence of hypoxaemia and hypotension in elderly patients undergoing bidirectional gastrointestinal endoscopy under sedation, highlighting the clinical significance of improved safety.
Key Findings:
Ciprofol may offer improved cardiorespiratory stability compared to propofol, which is crucial for elderly patients at risk of sedation-related complications.
Interpretation:
The study aims to provide high-quality evidence regarding the safety of ciprofol compared to propofol in elderly patients during endoscopy.
Limitations:
Single-center study may limit generalizability; exclusion of patients with severe cardiopulmonary diseases may affect the applicability of results to a broader population.
Conclusion:
This trial will compare ciprofol and propofol in elderly patients to assess differences in hypoxaemia and hypotension during sedation, potentially influencing clinical practice.
