According to the sedative agent used, patients were divided into a Ciprofol group (Group C, n = 56) and a Propofol group (Group P, n = 64). The primary outcome was the sedation induction time, defined as the duration from drug administration to the first achievement of the target Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) score of \u22122 to 0. Secondary outcomes included the recovery time, extubation time, dynamic changes in respiratory rate, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n ), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) during treatment, as well as the incidence of adverse reactions such as hypoxemia (SpO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n &lt; 90%), hypotension, and injection pain.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Regarding the primary outcome, the sedation induction time was comparable between the two groups, with no statistically significant difference (p &gt; 0.05). Analysis of secondary outcomes revealed that the Ciprofol group demonstrated several advantages: \u2460 Enhanced Safety Profile: The incidences of hypoxemia and hypotension were significantly lower in the Ciprofol group (p &lt; 0.05). \u2461 Faster Recovery: Both emergence time and full recovery time were shorter in the Ciprofol group compared to the Propofol group (p &lt; 0.05). \u2462 Improved Tolerability: The incidence of injection pain was markedly lower in the Ciprofol group (p &lt; 0.001), and fluctuations in respiratory and circulatory parameters during treatment were also reduced.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n For patients undergoing NPPV, ciprofol provides sedation efficacy comparable to propofol while demonstrating a superior safety profile, faster recovery, and enhanced injection tolerability. This combination of advantages makes ciprofol a preferable alternative for sedation in this clinical setting.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2026.1745150","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,24]],"date-time":"2026-02-24T05:19:07Z","timestamp":1771910347000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ciprofol injection in patients receiving non-invasive positive pressure ventilation: a retrospective study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"DaLong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fifth Clinical Medical College of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (Zhengzhou People\u2019s Hospital)","place":["Zhengzhou, Henan, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lan","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fifth Clinical Medical College of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (Zhengzhou People\u2019s Hospital)","place":["Zhengzhou, Henan, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xue","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fifth Clinical Medical College of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (Zhengzhou People\u2019s Hospital)","place":["Zhengzhou, Henan, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ChenXi","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fifth Clinical Medical College of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (Zhengzhou People\u2019s Hospital)","place":["Zhengzhou, Henan, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"XiaoHan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fifth Clinical Medical College of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (Zhengzhou People\u2019s Hospital)","place":["Zhengzhou, Henan, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"XingGuo","family":"Niu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fifth Clinical Medical College of Henan University of Chinese Medicine (Zhengzhou People\u2019s Hospital)","place":["Zhengzhou, Henan, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"111425","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclinane.2024.111425","article-title":"Efficacy and safety of ciprofol compared with propofol during general anesthesia induction: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT)","volume":"94","author":"Akhtar","year":"2024","journal-title":"J.
