Purpose: The debate continues over the differential impact of remimazolam vs propofol on hemodynamic stability. This study aims to elucidate the effects of a combination of remimazolam and esketamine vs propofol and esketamine on hemodynamic parameters in elderly patients undergoing painless colonoscopies. Patients and Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial involving 754 patients, divided equally between two treatment groups. The remimazolam-esketamine group (RE group) received 0.15 mg/kg of remimazolam and 0.3 mg/kg of esketamine. Conversely, the propofol-esketamine group (PE group) was administered 1.5 mg/kg of propofol with 0.3 mg/kg of esketamine. Primary outcomes focused on the incidence of hypotension. Secondary outcomes assessed were other hemodynamic adverse events, intraoperative blood pressure and heart rate fluctuations, usage of vasoactive agents, sedation efficacy, and additional adverse reactions. Results: Hypotension occurred significantly less frequently in the RE group (9.78%, 95% confidence interval[CI]: 6.67– 12.87%) compared to the PE group (23.57%, 95% CI: 21.22– 30.52%), P < 0.001. The RE group also showed lower incidences of sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia, and required less support from vasoactive agents ( P < 0.001). Additionally, the RE group experienced smaller fluctuations in blood pressure and heart rate ( P < 0.05). Both groups achieved a 100% sedation success rate. Notably, the RE group had a longer induction period but a quick...
