Anesthesia Recovery Period

Brief summary

126 patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgery in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital were selected. In the intervention group, anesthesia was induced with remimazolam besylate at a rate of 6mg/min; Anesthesia was maintained with 1.0-2.0mg/min remimazolam besylate by continuous pump. Control group: anesthesia induction, intravenous injection of propofol 2mg/kg; Anesthesia was maintained by continuous pumping of 6-8mg/kg/h propofol. All patients were routinely monitored for vital signs and anesthesia depth after entering the operating room. The patients were followed up after surgery, and the quality of recovery score at 24 hours after surgery was the main study outcome.

Detailed description

This study was a randomized, single-blind, single-center, positive drug controlled, non-inferiority trial. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 126 patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective non-cardiac surgery in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital were selected. In the intervention group, anesthesia was induced with remimazolam besylate at a rate of 6mg/min; Anesthesia was maintained with 1.0-2.0mg/min remimazolam besylate by continuous pump. Control group: anesthesia induction, intravenous injection of propofol 2mg/kg; Anesthesia was maintained by continuous pumping of 6-8mg/kg/h propofol. All patients were routinely monitored for vital signs and anesthesia depth after entering the operating room. After the patient lost consciousness, routine analgesia and muscle relaxants were given, followed by tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. During the anesthesia maintenance phase, vital signs and depth of anesthesia were continuously monitored, sedatives and analgesics were continuously pumped, and muscle relaxants were added intermittently as needed. The patients were followed up after surgery, and the quality of recovery score at 24 hours after surgery was the main study outcome.

Interventions

DRUGRemimazolam besylate

In Remimazolam group, anesthesia was induced with remimazolam besylate at a rate of 6mg/min and maintained with 1.0-2.0mg/min until the end of surgery.

DRUGPropofol Injection Emulsion

In Propofol group, anesthesia was induced with propofol injection emulsion at a rate of 2mg/kg and maintained with 6-8mg/kg/h until the end of surgery.

MeasureTime frameDescription
15-item quality of recovery scale24 hours after surgeryPatient-measured scales. It was composed of 15 items of five dimensions: physical well-being, physical independence, emotional state, psychological support, and pain. The scale is scored from 0 to 150. Higher scores indicate better quality of recovery.
