January 5, 2026 updated by: Peking University Shenzhen Hospital

Median Effective Concentration of Ciprofol and Its Correlation With Bispectral Index: A Prospective Observational Study

  1. Eligible patients were selected and enrolled in the study.
  2. General anesthesia was induced using ciprofol in all participants, with standardized evaluation of consciousness levels during induction.
  3. The patients' pain and cognition are followed up after surgery.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
ciprofol group
Anesthesia induction was achieved through target-controlled infusion of ciprofol.
Beginning with an initial target plasma concentration of ciprofol at 1.2 μg/mL. Assessments of the Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) scale and Bispectral Index (BIS) values are performed every minute until the patient achieves a complete anesthetic state (defined as an MOAA/S score of 0).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The effect-site concentration of cipofol, when MOAAS reaches 2
Time Frame: From the beginning of anesthesia induction until 1 minute after intubation, the MOAA/S score was assessed every minute, with simultaneous recording of the effect-site concentration (Ce).

The effect-site concentration of cipofol corresponding to MOAA/S score (Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation) of 2.

(Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation: 5--Responds readily to name spoken in normal tone ; 4--Lethargic response to name spoken in normal tone ; 3--Responds only after name is called loudly and/or repeatedly ; 2--Responds only after mild prodding or shaking ;

1--Responds only after painful trapezius squeeze ; 0--No response after painful trapezius squeeze;)

From the beginning of anesthesia induction until 1 minute after intubation, the MOAA/S score was assessed every minute, with simultaneous recording of the effect-site concentration (Ce).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The effect-site concentration of cipofol, when MOAA/S reaches 0.
Time Frame: From the beginning of anesthesia induction until 1 minute after intubation, the MOAA/S score was assessed every minute, with simultaneous recording of the effect-site concentration (Ce).
The effect-site concentration of cipofol corresponding to MOAA/S score (Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation) of 0.
From the beginning of anesthesia induction until 1 minute after intubation, the MOAA/S score was assessed every minute, with simultaneous recording of the effect-site concentration (Ce).
Bispectral index
Time Frame: From the beginning of anesthesia induction until 1 minute after intubation, the MOAA/S score was assessed every minute, with simultaneous recording of the BIS values.
Bispectral Index (BIS) values corresponding to different Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) scores.
From the beginning of anesthesia induction until 1 minute after intubation, the MOAA/S score was assessed every minute, with simultaneous recording of the BIS values.
The EC₅₀ and EC₉₅ of ciprofol
Time Frame: From the beginning of anesthesia induction until 1 minute after intubation , the MOAA/S score was assessed every minute, with simultaneous recording of the effect-site concentration (Ce).
The EC₅₀ and EC₉₅ of ciprofol corresponding to MOAA/S scores of 2 and 0
From the beginning of anesthesia induction until 1 minute after intubation , the MOAA/S score was assessed every minute, with simultaneous recording of the effect-site concentration (Ce).
Heart rate
Time Frame: From the beginning of anesthesia induction until 1 minute after intubation, the MOAA/S score was assessed every minute, with simultaneous recording of the HR.
Heart rate(in bpm) corresponding to different Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) scores.
From the beginning of anesthesia induction until 1 minute after intubation, the MOAA/S score was assessed every minute, with simultaneous recording of the HR.
Blood pressure
Time Frame: From the beginning of anesthesia induction until 1 minute after intubation, the MOAA/S score was assessed every minute, with simultaneous recording of the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure.
The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure corresponding to different MOAAS scores were all recorded.
From the beginning of anesthesia induction until 1 minute after intubation, the MOAA/S score was assessed every minute, with simultaneous recording of the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure.
