Brief Summary: Remimazolam has shown promising results for sedation in colonoscopy . Alfentanil is widely used in the analgesia of ERCP . The purpose of the study was to determine the median effective dose of remimazolam for duodenoscopy insertion during ERCP with alfentanil 10µg/kg.
Detailed Description: 1. Title:The median effective dose of remimazolam for duodenoscopy insertion during ERCP with alfentanil 10µg/kg. 2. Research center: Single center. 3. The population of the study: Age is between 18 and 85 years; ASA I andIII levels; Patients undergone elective ERCP surgery, non-intubation patients; 4. Sample size:The sample size was decided based on that of prior literature, which had demonstrated that at least six independent pairs with success/failure duodenoscopy insertion during ERCP are required for reliable estimates of the ED50 of remimazolam with the Dixon's up-and-down method, and data from seven independent pairs of patients were collected for this study. The ED50 (95% confidence interval, CI) of remimazolam for successful duodenoscopy insertion during ERCP was calculated according to the formula of Dixon and Massey. 6\. Interventions:The dose of remimazolam for each patient was determined by the response of the previously tested patients using the modified Dixon's up-and-down method.The first patient was tested at 0.2mg/kg remimazolam (0.025mg/kg as a step size). Duodenoscopy insertion was conducted when MOAA/S≤1.The response of the patients to the duodenoscopy insertion during ERCP was categorized as either 'success (no movement)' or 'failure (movement).' Movement was defined duodenoscopy insertion a failure was as gross purposeful muscular movement, coughing or vomiting occurring during or within 2 minutes of insertion of duodenoscopy. No movement was depicted when the reactions mentioned earlier were absent.If BIS\>75 and MOAA/S \> 1 when 3 min after the intravenous injection of remimazolam, it was considered a failure, and the patient received rescue sedation..
