New sedative for gastroscopy and colonoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new sedative medication called Methoxyethyl Etomidate Hydrochloride, given to keep you relaxed and pain-free during a gastroscopy or colonoscopy. The medication aims to be safe and effective for routine procedures.

This study looks at how much etomidate (a sleep-inducing medicine used during surgery) is needed for people with insomnia compared to those who sleep normally. It aims to help doctors give safer and more effective doses for patients with insomnia who need general anesthesia.
This trial compares two types of sedative medicines (etomidate plus propofol versus propofol alone) used during gastroscopy in people living at high altitudes. The goal is to find a safer or more comfortable sedation option for this specific population.
This trial tests whether a mix of two sedative drugs (etomidate and propofol) is safer than using propofol alone for elderly patients having abdominal surgery. It aims to find which approach leads to fewer side effects during and after the procedure.
This trial compares two IV anesthesia medicines (propofol and etomidate) during endoscopic procedures. It may help your care team choose the safest, most effective anesthesia approach for patients who need anesthesia for endoscopy.
