Brief summary

The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of TCI propofol and continuous infusion remimazolam in sedation for drug induced sleep endoscopy, with an emphasis on the required wake-up time after the procedure. Participants will be divided into two group (one recieving sedation via TCI Propofol and the other via remimazolam infusion).The following data will be recorded: informed consent for anesthesia and information on admission, informed consent for the study, demographic and clinical characteristics of the patient (age, sex, height, weight, BMI, ASA status, Mallampati score, comorbidities and previous use of CPAP machine), time from the start of the infusion to reaching BIS 60, the drug dose that was needed to achieve BIS 60/snoring , time to snoring, time from stopping the infusion until BIS 80 is achieved, number of episodes of desaturation, necessary additional maneuvers to maintain the airway patency if we used them. Hemodinamics will be measured during the whole procedure (blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation) every 5 minutes. We assume that remimazolam will prove to be more efficient than propofol, meaninig faster to achieve sedation, faster wake up time and less hemodinamic instability.

Interventions

Patients scheduled for drug induced sleep endoscopy will be divaded in 2 groups. One will be sedated using target control infusion of propofol -1-3mcg/ml while the other group will be sedated using continous infusion of remimazolam 0,5-2 mg/kg/hour. Sedation will be administered by specialist of anesthesiology and will be monitored by observation and bispectral index monitoring.
