Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of remimazolam sedation in patients receiving antipsychotic medications undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy.
We will compare sedation success rate, total dose of remimazolam, and incidence of adverse events between patients taking antipsychotic medications and those not taking them.
The study aims to clarify whether antipsychotic medication independently affects the sedative efficacy of remimazolam.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Sedation success rate
Defined as completion of the scheduled gastrointestinal endoscopy without the need for additional sedative agents and achieving the target sedation level (MOAA/S =<4) within the maximum remimazolam dose of 8mg.

Key secondary outcomes

1.Total dose of remimazolam required for sedation induction
2.Sedation success rate with the initial dose only
3.Early recovery rate (Proportion of patients capable of walking or achieving an Aldrete score >= 9 within 5 minutes after endoscope withdrawal)
4.Incidence of adverse events (hypotension [SBP < 90 mmHg AND > 20% decrease from baseline], bradycardia, hypoxemia [requiring airway intervention], paradoxical reaction, etc.)
5.Frequency of flumazenil use
6.Endoscopist satisfaction score (0-5 scale)

Note: This is an observational study, and the following describes procedures performed and observed within routine clinical practice.
Sedation using intravenous Remimazolam during gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Sedation will be performed according to standard clinical practice in our hospital.
Initial dose:3 mg intravenous bolus.For elderly or low body weight patients, the initial dose may be reduced to 1.5-2 mg at the discretion of the physician.
Additional dose:1 mg may be administered at intervals of >=1 minute until adequate sedation is achieved.
Maximum dose before endoscope insertion:8 mg.
Sedation depth will be evaluated using the Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) score.
Target sedation level: MOAA/S score <=4.
If adequate sedation cannot be achieved with the maximum dose of remimazolam, rescue sedatives (e.g., propofol or flunitrazepam) may be administered at the physician's discretion.

Participants will be classified into two groups based on medication history.
Antipsychotic group
Patients receiving typical or atypical antipsychotic medications continuously for at least one month prior to endoscopy.
Control group
Patients not receiving antipsychotic medications.
Concomitant use of benzodiazepines, non-benzodiazepine hypnotics, and orexin receptor antagonists is permitted in both groups.
