What this trial studies

This observational study will compare rimazolen dose requirements in adults aged 18–64 undergoing digestive endoscopy with intravenous anesthesia who either meet DSM-5 criteria for insomnia or have normal sleep. Insomnia status is confirmed by DSM-5 screening and an 8-item Sleep Condition Indicator score of 16 or less, and comparisons will control for ASA status and BMI. Investigators will record rimazolen doses given during routine care along with clinical variables and contraindications to anesthetics. No experimental interventions are applied; data are collected during standard clinical procedures at the participating hospital.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults 18–64 years old with ASA physical status I–II and BMI 15–30 scheduled for digestive endoscopy under intravenous anesthesia who either meet DSM-5 criteria for insomnia with SCI ≤16 or have no history of insomnia.

Not a fit: Patients with neurological disease, daily alcohol use, contraindications or allergy to intravenous anesthetics, or those outside the specified age or BMI ranges are unlikely to benefit from the study findings.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If rimazolen needs differ by sleep status, clinicians could tailor sedation doses to improve safety and comfort during endoscopy.

How similar studies have performed: Prior perioperative research suggests sleep disturbance can alter sedative requirements, but direct data on rimazolen dosing in insomnia patients are sparse.
