Brief summary

This study was planned to investigate the degree of effect of remimazolam on MEP compared to propofol when monitoring the motion-inducing potential (MEP).

Interventions

DRUGPropofol

Anesthesia induction and maintenance with propofol 60 minutes later, change the maintenance drug to remimazolam

DRUGRemimazolam Besylate

Anesthesia induction and maintenance with remimazolam 60 minutes later, change the maintenance drug to propofol
