Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of remimazolam besylate compared to propofol for sedation in critically ill patients with deep sedation.

Detailed description

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled study using remimazolam besylate and propofol for sedation in critically ill patients with deep sedation. Subjects are randomized to remimazolam group and propofol group in a 1:1 ratio. Remifentanil is administered as the analgesic. Efficacy and safety profiles of remimazolam besylate are to be evaluated.
