Impacts of different anesthetic protocols on the speed and quality of postoperative resuscitation in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy

To estimate the impacts of different anesthetic protocols on the speed and quality of postoperative resuscitation in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy. This was a prospectively designed randomized control study that included 150 patients who underwent painless gastroscopy in Hainan Cancer Hospital affiliated to Hainan Medical College between April and December of 2023. All the patients, classified as American Society of Aneshesiologists (ASA) Grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were randomly divided into three groups with different anesthetic protocols, including propofol group (group P), remimazolam group (group R) and remimazolam with flumazenil group (group RF). There were eventually 50 patients in each group. The three groups of patients were compared for their resuscitation time and the time that they stayed in the resuscitation room (addressed as"room time"below). At 10 min and 20 min after resuscitation, each patient was tested for recognition ability (orientation score), walking ability and fine motor skill (includi
