Pretreatment with different doses of oliceridine attenuates etomidate-induced myoclonus during painless gastroscopy: a randomized controlled trial
Bin Yang
BackgroundEtomidate is commonly used for sedation during gastroscopy but is associated with a high incidence of myoclonus. This study evaluated the effectiveness of oliceridine pretreatment in reducing etomidate-induced myoclonus.MethodsIn this prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, 150 patients undergoing painless gastroscopy were assigned to receive oliceridine at 0.01 mg/kg (Group A1), 0.02 mg/kg (Group A2), or normal saline (Group S) prior to etomidate administration.
