etomidate + midazolam + sufentanil + cisatracurium + sevoflurane

This general anesthetic regimen is a multi-drug combination protocol utilized by **China Medical University** in clinical research, specifically the GIM-POD study, to induce and maintain anesthesia in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. The induction phase consists of **etomidate** (a carboxylated imidazole hypnotic), **midazolam** (a benzodiazepine), **sufentanil** (a potent opioid analgesic), and **cisatracurium** (a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent). Maintenance of anesthesia is achieved through the inhalation of **sevoflurane** (a halogenated ether) supplemented with continuous sufentanil administration. This combination is designed to provide a balanced state of hypnosis, amnesia, analgesia, and muscle relaxation while minimizing hemodynamic fluctuations during major surgical procedures.
