At present, propofol is commonly used to perform painless gastrointestinal endoscopy, but the high dose of propofol often leads to a higher incidence of cardiovascular and respiratory complications. Studies have shown that the application of propofol combined with ketamine in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy is beneficial to reduce the dosage of propofol and the incidence of related complications. Esketamine is dextrorotatory structure of ketamine with a twice as great anesthetic effect as normal ketamine but fewer side effects. We hypothesized that esketamine may reduce the consumption of propofol and to investigate the safety of coadministration during gastrointestinal endoscopy.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A total of 260 patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy (gastroscope and colonoscopy) were randomly divided into P group (propofol\u2009+\u2009saline), PK1 group (propofol\u2009+\u2009esketamine 0.05\u00a0mg\/kg), PK2 group (propofol\u2009+\u2009esketamine 0.1\u00a0mg\/kg), and PK3 group (propofol\u2009+\u2009esketamine 0.2\u00a0mg\/kg). Anesthesia was achieved by 1.5\u00a0mg\/kg propofol with different doses of esketamine. Propofol consumption per minute was recorded. Hemodynamic index, pulse oxygen saturation, operative time, induction time, awakening status, orientation recovery time, adverse events, and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were also recorded during gastrointestinal endoscopy.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Propofol consumption per minute was 11.78, 10.56, 10.14, and 9.57 (mg\/min) in groups P, PK1, PK2, and PK3, respectively; compared with group P, groups PK2 and PK3 showed a decrease of 13.92% (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.021) and 18.76% (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.000), respectively. In all four groups, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), but not pulse oxygen saturation (SpO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>) significantly decreased (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.000) immediately after administration of induction, but there were no significant differences between the groups. The induction time of groups P, PK1, PK2, and PK3 was 68.52\u2009\u00b1\u200918.394, 64.83\u2009\u00b1\u200913.543, 62.23\u2009\u00b1\u200915.197, and 61.35\u2009\u00b1\u200914.470\u00a0s, respectively (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.041).

The lack of significant differences in hemodynamic results, anesthesia-related indices, adverse events, and MMSE results showed the safety to apply this combination for painless gastrointestinal endoscopy.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p><jats:italic>Trial registration<\/jats:italic> This study was registered with China Clinical Trial Registration on 07\/11\/2020 (registration website: chictr.org.cn; registration numbers: ChiCTR <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/2000039750\">https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/2000039750<\/jats:ext-link>).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12876-022-02467-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,20]],"date-time":"2022-08-20T14:02:32Z","timestamp":1661004152000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":79,"title":["Efficacy and safety of subanesthetic doses of esketamine combined with propofol in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy: a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Yongtong","family":"Zhan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuqing","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zecheng","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qichen","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuai","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiamin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhaojia","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yalan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,20]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"2467_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"364","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2017.06.014","volume":"153","author":"MB Wallace","year":"2017","unstructured":"Wallace MB, Wang KK, Adler DG, Rastogi A.
