| Core Tip |
The choice of anesthesia plays a pivotal role in ensuring both safety and efficacy during painless gastroscopy. This study enrolled 103 elderly patients scheduled for painless gastrointestinal endoscopy and systematically compared propofol monotherapy with a combined etomidate-propofol regimen. Comprehensive evaluations of anesthesia quality, patient compliance, hemodynamic stability, adverse events, and sedation-analgesia efficacy demonstrated that the etomidate-propofol combination provides distinct clinical advantages for such patients. These results support its adoption as a preferred anesthetic strategy for elderly patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy. |
