Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The success rate of remimazolam alone in dental procedures under intravenous sedation. Success is defined as an optimal level of sedation achieved with remimazolam alone during a dental procedure, and the percentage of study subjects meeting the criteria for success in the population analyzed. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints 1. Time from start of remimazolam administration to optimal sedation level 2. Remimazolam dose 3. Change over time in the depth of sedation (MOAA/S score) of study subjects 4. Changes over time in the patient status index (PSi) by electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring of the research subjects 5. Remimazolam concentration in blood of study subjects 6. Time from the end of continuous remimazolam administration until the patient is able to return home 7. Memory of the study subject during the dental procedure Safety endpoints 1. Frequency, rate, and severity of adverse events 2. Respiratory system evaluation (1) Change in SpO2 over time (2) Change over time in EtCO2 (3) Change over time in respiratory rate (4) Presence of upper airway obstruction (snoring, seesaw breathing) 3. Cardiovascular system evaluation (1) Change over time in pulse rate (2) Changes in blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) over time (3) Electrocardiographic findings (4) Changes over time in non-invasive continuous estimated cardiac output (esCCO) 4. Assessment of arousal Presence or absence of re-sedation after awakening (from the end of remimazolam administration to leaving the examination room) No staggering or falls (from the time the patient leaves the clinic to the time the patient returns home) 5. Whether antagonist (flumazenil) was administered due to delayed arousal 6. Re-sedation in patients treated with flumazenil 7. Oxygen administration 8. Manual ventilation | — |
