Abstract:Objective To study the individual factors that affecting the dosage of propofol in painless gastroscopy, and provide reference for improving the effectiveness and safety of individual painless gastroscopy.Methods 406 patients who were scheduled to undergo painless gastroscopy were given sufentanil 0.10 μg/kg and propofol 1.00 mg/kg successively. Followed by propofol titrating at 0.20 mg/kg each time until the patient's MOAA/S = 1, then gastroscopy was performed. The information and medication status of all patients were recorded and analyzed. The dosage of propofol that every patient used was calculated as mg/kg according to actual body weight, the dosage exceeding 30% of the average was defined as dosage increasing, and below 30% of the average was defined as dosage decreasing.Results The dosage increasing of propofol were in 81 cases (19.95%) among 406 patients, significantly in patients who were 35 years old or younger, hard physical laborers or exercisers, long-term drinkers, patients with throat diseases (P < 0.05). According to Logistic regression analysis that the four factors were associated with the dosage increasing, OR^ values were 10.211, 2.749, 3.266 and 4.406, respectively. The dosage decreasing of propofol were in 36 cases (8.87%), significantly in patients who were aged greater than 65 years and obesity (P < 0.05). According to Logistic regression analysis, that the two factors were associated with the dosage decreasing, OR^ values were 3.607 and 3.982, respectively.Conclusion There are many individual factors leading to the increase or decrease of propofol dosage that is calculated according to actual body weight in painless gastroscopy, and identifying these individual factors in advance is beneficial to the implementation of individual anesthesia.
