Article Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the median effective concentration (EC50) of alfentanil combined with propofol closed-loop targeted infusion when used for sedation in super-elderly endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) patients.
Patients And Methods: A total of 28 super-elderly patients (>85 years old) undergoing elective ERCP from April to September 2024 were enrolled to receive target-controlled continuous infusion of alfentanil with an initial infusion concentration of 50ng/mL, and the continuous infusion concentration was determined according to the Dixon up and down method, and the incremental/decremental gradient of alfentanil was set at 10ng/mL. The observation was terminated after 8 reflexes. The EC50 of target-controlled infusion of alfentanil combined with propofol in the operation of ERCP in super-aged patients was calculated. HR and MAP were recorded at the time of entering the room at rest (T0), after anesthesia induction (T1), before duodenoscope placement (T2), and within 3 minutes after duodenoscope placement (T3).
Results: In this study, the EC50 of alfentanil combined with propofol target-controlled infusion during ERCP in super-elderly patients was determined to be 36.52ng/mL (95% confidence interval [CI]: 32.12-41.71ng/mL). Among the 28 patients, 27 patients (96.43%) had a change in HR less than 20% of baseline during duodenoscopy, and 1 patient (3.57%) had a change in HR more than 20% of baseline during duodenoscopy. Of the 28 patients, 26 (92.86%) had a MAP change of less than 20% of baseline during duodenoscopy, and 2 (7.14%) had a MAP change of more than 20% of baseline.
Conclusion: The EC50 of alfentanil combined with propofol by closed-loop target-controlled infusion during ERCP in super-elderly patients is 36.52ng/mL. At this concentration level, the patients can be satisfied with surgical anesthesia and maintain relatively stable hemodynamics.

Background: Painless gastroscopy is preferred by both patients and physicians, as it minimizes discomfort during the procedure. Alfentanil, a short-acting opioid analgesic, possesses pharmacological properties that make it suitable for inducing analgesia during gastroscopy. However, research on the optimal dosage of alfentanil when used in combination with propofol for gastroscopy is limited.

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of different combinations of anesthetics in transperineal prostate biopsy in elderly male patients.
Methods: We randomly divided 132 ≥65-year-old male patients to receive transperineal prostate biopsy under combined intravenous anesthesia with propofol + sufentanil (the PS group), remimazolam + sufentanil (the RS group), propofol + alfentanil (the PA group), or remimazolam + alfentanil (the RA group). We recorded the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) of the patients, the required rescue sedation, the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) scores upon admission into the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) after surgery, the length of stay in the PACU and the incidence of adverse reactions, followed by comparison of the data obtained among the four groups.
