Objective To calculate median effective dose(ED50)of remimazolam combined with sufentanil for inhibition of nasopharyngeal airway insertion reaction in elderly patients.Methods Thirty-eight patients,aged≥65 years,BMI 18-25 kg/m2,ASA physical statusⅠ-Ⅲ,undergoing elective cata-ract surgery under nasopharyngeal airway were selected.Patients received intravenous sufentanil injections of 0.1 μg/kg,followed by intravenous remimazolam injection 3 minutes later,then nasopharyngeal airway in-sertion after 2 minutes.The initial dose of remimazolam was 0.2 mg/kg and adjusted by 0.01 mg/kg,based on the modified Dixon sequential method.A positive reaction was defined as head shaking,choking,body movement,an increase in HR＞20%of the basal value,or an increase in SBP or DBP＞20%of the basal value at the time of nasopharyngeal airway placement.The procedure was stopped after seven crossovers.The ED50,95%effective dose(ED95)of remimazolam,and 95%confidence intervals(CI)were calculated by probabilistic unit(Probit)regression analysis.Results When combined with sufentanil,the ED50 and ED95 of remimazolam for inhibition of nasopharyngeal airway insertion in elderly patients was 0.193 mg/kg(95%CI 0.191-0.195 mg/kg)and 0.209 mg/kg(95%CI 0.205-0.213 mg/kg),respectively.Conclusion The ED50 of remimazolam combined with sufentanil for inhibition of nasopharyngeal airway in-sertion reaction in elderly patients were 0.193 mg/kg(95%CI 0.191-0.195 mg/kg).
