Abstract:Objective To explore the efficacy of the anesthesia regimen combining remimazolam besylate and low-dose sufentanil in fiberoptic bronchoscopy.Methods 96 patients who underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy under sedation and anesthesia from September 2024 to February 2025 were selected and randomly divided into group P (received propofol medium/long chain fatty emulsion injection) and group R (received remimazolam besylate). All patients were intravenously injected with sufentanil injection at a dose of 0.1 μg/kg. One minute later, group P was given 2.00 mg/kg of propofol medium/long chain fat emulsion injection, and group R was given 0.20 mg/kg of remimazolam besylate for anesthesia induction. The percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of the two groups of patients were observed before administration (T0), when fiberoptic bronchoscopy passed through the glottis (T1), when fiberoptic bronchoscopy reached the carina of the trachea (T2), at the end of the examination (T3), and when leaving the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) (T4). The choking cough score, anesthesia induction time, endoscopic examination time, anesthesia recovery time, time to regain orientation, and the number of additional sedative drugs during the operation of the two groups of patients were compared. Record the occurrence of intraoperative respiratory depression events, the number of airway intervention cases, the incidence of injection pain during induction, and the incidence of hypotension in the two groups of patients.Results All patients underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy. At the T1 and T2 time points, the MAP of both groups was lower than that at the T0 time points, the MAP of the group R was higher than that of the group P at the T1 and T2 time points, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the choking cough score, induction time, endoscopic examination time, and time to regain orientation, and the number of additional sedative drugs between the two groups (P > 0.05); The awakening time of the group R was significantly longer than that of the group P, the incidences of respiratory depression, airway intervention, hypotension, and injection pain in the group R were all lower than those in the group P, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusion The anesthetic effect of remimazolam besylate combined with low-dose sufentanil in fiberoptic bronchoscopy is stable. Remimazolam besylate has more stable hemodynamics compared with propofol, and has a lower incidence of respiratory system-related adverse reactions and injection pain. It is safe and effective for the diagnosis and treatment of fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
