About this trial
This study aims to investigate the incidence of euphoria induced by remimazolam during gastrointestinal endoscopy and explore its related factors. Gastrointestinal endoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure, often causes discomfort and anxiety for patients. Remimazolam, a short-acting benzodiazepine, is increasingly used for sedation during these procedures due to its rapid onset, short metabolism, and controlled cardiorespiratory effects. This cross-sectional study will evaluate the effect of remimazolam on patient comfort, cooperation, and satisfaction during endoscopy, aiming to optimize sedation protocols and improve clinical outcomes.
