Abstract:Objective To compare the hemodynamic response and anterograde amnesia in midazolam combined with sufentanil and propofol combined with remifentanil in bronchoscopy, and investigate the influencing factors of anterograde amnesia in bronchoscopy with midazolam and sufentanil.Methods 110 patients underwent bronchoscopy from January 2020 to March 2020 were randomly divided into two groups: midazolam combined with sufentanil (midazolam group) (n = 68) and propofol combined with remifentanil (propofol group) (n = 42). Changes of heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), the degree of anterograde amnesia and adverse reactions were recorded at five time points: before induction of anesthesia (T1), 1 min after anaesthetic administration (T2), when bronchoscope passes through the glottis (T3), during bronchoscopy (T4) and after operation (T5).Results There were significant differences in HR, RR, SBP, DBP and SpO2 between midazolam group and propofol group (F = 40.73, F = 58.11, F = 58.66, F = 48.89, F = 30.19, P = 0.000). The HR, RR, SBP and DBP in midazolam group at T2 ~ T5 were significantly higher than those in propofol group (P = 0.000). The midazolam group had better Steward recovery score (Z = 4.65, P = 0.000) and lower examination cost (t = 25.91, P = 0.000) than the propofol group. Anterograde amnesia in the propofol group was better than that in the midazolam group (U = 504.00, P = 0.000). There was no significant difference in intubation resistance score between the two groups (Z = -1.17, P = 0.241). In the midazolam group, older than 60 years (OR^ = 3.005, 95%CI: 1.118~8.077), dosage of midazolam > 2.0 mg (OR^ = 5.090, 95%CI: 1.374~18.859), HR ≤ 88.6 beats/min (OR^ = 3.916, 95%CI: 1.434 ~ 10.694) were all independent influencing factors of better anterograde amnesia.Conclusion During bronchoscopy, midazolam combined with sufentanil was superior to the propofol group in terms of hemodynamic stability, Steward recovery score and cost, but the propofol group was superior to the midazolam group in terms of anterograd amnesia, cough score and the incidence of dyspnea. Age, dosage of midazolam and degree of sedation are the influencing factors of anterograde amnesia. Anesthesia methods and doses can be selected according to different needs of patients in clinical practice.
