About this trial
This study aims to conduct a multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial to scientifically evaluate the safety and efficacy of different perioperative sedation methods during endovascular thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The proportion of mRS score 0-2 at 90 days
mRS is short for modified Ranking score (ranging from 0 to 6, with higher values indicating a worse functional outcome).
Secondary outcomes
Shift in the distribution of mRS scores at 90 days
mRS is short for modified Ranking score (ranging from 0 to 6, with higher values indicating a worse functional outcome).
The proportion of mRS score 0-1 at 90 days
mRS is short for modified Ranking score (ranging from 0 to 6, with higher values indicating a worse functional outcome).
The proportion of mRS score 0-3 at 90 days
mRS is short for modified Ranking score (ranging from 0 to 6, with higher values indicating a worse functional outcome).
Rates of successful recanalization
Successful recanalization is defined as mTICI≥2b. mTICI is short for modified Thrombolysis in cerebral Infarction (ranging from 0 to 3, with higher values indicating a better reperfusion state).
Other outcomes
Rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage at 48 hours
Clinical safety endpoint. Intracranial hemorrhage within 48 hours on CT/MRI according to Heidelberg bleeding classification.
Rates of procedure-related complications
Clinical safety endpoint
Rates of mortality at 90 days
Clinical safety endpoint
