Comparative efficacy and safety of nalbuphine and hydromorphone in painless colonoscopy techniques: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colonoscopy is essential for diagnosing colon lesions but is often associated with discomfort. Painless colonoscopy techniques are being increasingly used to improve the patient experience."However, in the case of painless colonoscopy, anesthesia is performed outside the operating room, which requires more significant peri-examination of hemodynamic changes and adverse postoperative reactions. This requires a more careful selection of narcotic analgesics, and there needs to be optimal analgesic drug guidance in clinical practice. This study compared the efficacy and safety of nalbuphine and hydromorphone in improving patient comfort and maintaining hemodynamic stability during elective colonoscopy.
