Brief summary

The purpose of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to compare the total consumption of remimazolam between two different administration methods-Target-Controlled Infusion (TCI) and manual infusion-in patients undergoing cerebrovascular bypass surgery.

Interventions

OTHERTarget-Controlled Infusion (TCI) of Remimazolam

Remimazolam is administered using a target-controlled infusion (TCI) pump based on the Schuttler pharmacokinetic model. The initial target effect-site concentration (Ce) is set at 0.7 μg/mL and adjusted in 0.1 μg/mL increments to maintain a depth of anesthesia between Patient State Index (PSi) 25 and 50.

OTHERManual Infusion of Remimazolam

Remimazolam is administered via traditional manual weight-based infusion. For anesthesia induction, a rate of 6 mg/kg/hr is used. For maintenance, the infusion rate starts at 1 mg/kg/hr and is adjusted in 0.2 mg/kg/hr increments to maintain a PSi between 25 and 50.
