Ciprofol Versus Propofol in Patients Undergoing Painless Hysteroscopy

Ciprofol exhibits comparable efficacy to that of propofol, and is associated with less injection pain rate, fewer adverse events, higher patient satisfaction, and more stable hemodynamics when used for general anesthesia during the painless hysteroscopy.

About this study

In this study, we found that sedation success rate was 100% in both ciprofol group and propofol group during the painless hysteroscopy. The incidence rate of injection pain and the intensity of pain in the ciprofol group were significantly lower than the propofol group. Also, the ciprofol group had lower incidence rate and severity level of adverse events and higher patient satisfaction. In addition, SBP, DBP, and MAP values in propofol group were found to be significantly lower than those in ciprofol group at the time of cervical dilation and of consciousness recovery.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • age ≥ 18 years old;
  • undergoing hysteroscopy examination and requiring intravenous anesthesia;
  • American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I to II;
  • without communication difficulties, and able to cooperate with intervention implementation;
  • participating in this trial voluntarily, and signing an informed consent form;

Exclusion criteria

  • with contraindications for hysteroscopy examination (such as cervical stenosis, difficulty in cervical dilation, reproductive tract infections such as vaginitis and cervicitis) or allergies to the intended anesthetic drugs;
  • with severe cardiac insufficiency, liver and kidney dysfunction, and other major diseases;

Treatment and study plan

ciprofol

Drug

The experimental group was slowly injected with ciprofol for 30 seconds (0.4mg/kg, Haisike Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Liaoning, China, batch number 20220911).

Propofol

Drug

The control group was slowly injected with propofol for 30 seconds (2mg/kg, Guorui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Sichuan, China, batch number 22102914).

Primary outcomes

  1. Injection pain

    Time frame: 24 hours within hysteroscopy

    The injection pain was defined as the pain reported verbally by patients during the first injection of the investigational drugs (ciprofol or propofol). The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was used to evaluate the pain level. The anesthesiologist asks the patient during the first injection of the investigational drug (ciprofol or propofol), "Do you feel arm pain from the injection? Patients who answered "yes" was asked to describe the level of the pain (a score of 0 to 10 indicated "painless" to "unbearable pain"). The pain level was divided into painless (0 points), mild pain (1-3 points), and moderate to severe pain (4-10 points).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Sedation success rate

    Time frame: 24 hours within hysteroscopy

    No more than 5 supplementary doses within 15 minutes

  2. Anesthesia success rate

    Time frame: 24 hours within hysteroscopy

    the absence of any alternative sedatives/anesthetic drugs after the initial administration of the investigational drugs

  3. time for successful anesthesia induction

    Time frame: 24 hours within hysteroscopy

    the time from starting the administration of investigational drugs to the MOAA/S score ≤ 1

  4. recovery time

    Time frame: 24 hours within hysteroscopy

    the time from the last administration of investigational drugs to awaken

  5. use of rescue drugs

    Time frame: 24 hours within hysteroscopy

    ephedrine, atropine

  6. times of supplementing ciprofol or propofol

    Time frame: 24 hours within hysteroscopy

    times of supplementing ciprofol or propofol

  7. adverse events

    Time frame: 24 hours within hysteroscopy

    nausea, vomiting, hypoxemia (blood oxygen saturation < 90% and lasting > 30 seconds), bradycardia (heart rate < 55 beats/minute), hypotension (systolic blood pressure reduced by 20% compared to baseline), body movement (patient's unconscious limb movements) during the examination

  8. severity level of adverse events

    Time frame: 24 hours within hysteroscopy

    graded based the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for the Classification of Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0, and divided into grade 1 (mild), grade 2 (moderate), grade 3 (severe or medically significant but not immediately life threatening), grade 4 (events with life-threatening consequences needing urgent intervention), grade 5 (death related to the adverse events)

  9. patient satisfaction

    Time frame: 24 hours within hysteroscopy

    using a 10-point scale, with 1 point indicating extreme dissatisfaction and 10 points indicating very satisfied

  10. comparison of vital signs before and after administration

    Time frame: 24 hours within hysteroscopy

    The systolic blood pressure in mmHg, diastolic blood pressure in mmHg, mean arterial pressure in mmHg, blood oxygen saturation in %, and heart rate in bpm were recorded before anesthesia induction (T0), after anesthesia induction (T1), at cervical dilation (T2), and at consciousness recovery (T3)
