Brief summary

How anesthetic drugs induce and maintain the behavioral state of general anesthesia is an important question in medicine and neuroscience. Different anesthetic drugs act on different molecular targets and neural circuit mechanisms, exhibiting drug-specific EEG features. As a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepines drugs, remimazolam has been accepted for induction and maintenance of clinical anesthesia. Compared to the traditional benzodiazepines drugs, remimazolam combines the safety of midazolam with the effectiveness of propofol, and also has the advantages of acting quickly, short half-life, no injection pain, slight respiratory depression, independent of liver and kidney metabolism, long-term infusion without accumulation, and has a specific antagonist: flumazenil. This study aimed to investigate the differences in the characteristics of EEG oscillations during general anesthesia by comparing propofol and remimazolam.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
EEG waveformsDuration from the time the patient enters the operating room to the time they leave the post-anesthesia care unit, average two hours.Contrasting differences in electroencephalographic oscillatory characteristics during general anesthesia with propofol and remimazolam.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
diastolic pressureUp to 5 hours including preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periodsIndicators related to perioperative hemodynamics
mean pressureUp to 5 hours including preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periodsIndicators related to perioperative hemodynamics
heart rateUp to 5 hours including preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periodsIndicators related to perioperative hemodynamics
systolic pressureUp to 5 hours including preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periodsIndicators related to perioperative hemodynamics
Recovery timesUp to 30 minutes after operationThe period from discontinuation of anesthetic drugs to the recovery of the patient's self-consciousness and can respond correctly to external stimuli. All the patients can be allowed to leave the post-anesthesia care unit after Aldrete ≥ 9. Delayed awakening is defined as failure to achieve Aldrete ≥ 9 more than 30 minutes after surgery.
ComplicationDuring the perioperative periodAll the perioperative complications are recorded.
