Effects of ciprofol on respiratory-related adverse incidence in patients with obesity during painless gastroscopy: a prospective, randomized clinical trial

Perioper Med (Lond)Published Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

0.4 mg/kg of ciprofol provides anesthesia comparable with 2.0 mg/kg of propofol. However, it is related to reduced respiratory-related AEs and hypotension during gastroscopy in patients with obesity
