Abstract

Objective: To investigate the application effect of cluster-based anesthesia management in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy and evaluate its impact on anesthesia safety, procedural quality, and patient recovery. Methods: A total of 2000 patients who underwent painless gastrointestinal endoscopy at the Digestive Endoscopy Center of our hospital from January 2025 to January 2026 were randomly divided into two groups, with 1000 cases in each group. The observation group implemented a comprehensive cluster-based anesthesia protocol, while the control group received conventional intravenous sedation anesthesia with basic monitoring. The anesthesia induction time, awakening time, recovery room stay time, intraoperative hemodynamic fluctuations, incidence of adverse events, endoscopic procedure completion rate, and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results: The anesthesia induction time, awakening time, and recovery room stay time in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (all p < 0.001). The fluctuations in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) at T1, T2, and T3 in the observation group were significantly smaller than those in the control group (all p < 0.001). The incidence of intraoperative adverse events in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p < 0.001). The endoscopic procedure completion rate and patient satisfaction in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (both p < 0.001). Conclusion: Cluster-based anesthesia management can significantly optimize the anesthesia process for painless gastrointestinal endoscopy, shorten anesthesia and recovery times, reduce the risk of intraoperative adverse events, and improve procedural safety and patient comfort, making it worthy of clinical promotion and application.
