Objective: To evaluate the effect of remimazolam during anesthesia monitoring in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) via femoral artery catheter (FAC).
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 50 patients who underwent TAVI via FAC from July 2022 to September 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: a control group (receiving propofol, n=25) and a remimazolam group (receiving remimazolam, n=25). Pulse oxygen saturation (SpO), heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and Bispectral Index (BIS) were recorded at various time points: 5 min before anesthesia (T0), 0 (T1), 5 (T2), 10 (T3), 15 (T4), and 20 min (T5) after infusion. Operation time, blood loss, awakening time, quality of recovery (QoR-15) scores before operation and 1 and 3 days after operation were recorded and compared between the two groups. Additionally, the incidence of delirium at 1-day post-operation was compared between the two groups. The incidence of adverse reactions and patient satisfaction were compared between the groups.
Results: At T2, T3, T4 and T5, the remimazolam group exhibited significantly higher SpO, HR and MAP than the control group (P<0.05); BIS values and modified observer's assessment of alertness/sedation (MOAA/S) scores showed no significant differences (P>0.05). The remimazolam group also had significantly earlier awakening times (P<0.05), without differences in operation time or blood loss (P<0.05). QoR-15 scores at 1 and 3 days post-operation were higher in the remimazolam group (P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative delirium was slightly lower in the remimazolam group (P>0.05). The control group had a higher total incidence of adverse reactions and lower satisfaction compared to the remimazolam group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Remimazolam is an effective sedative for TAVI anesthesia, associated with lower postoperative adverse reactions, thus facilitating better recovery.

Background: Emergence agitation is common after nasal surgery under general anaesthesia. Remimazolam, a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine, allows haemodynamic stability and prompt postoperative recovery, but the specific impact of remimazolam on emergence agitation is not well understood.
Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to compare the effects of remimazolam-based total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) and sevoflurane-based volatile induction and maintenance of anaesthesia (VIMA) on the occurrence of emergence agitation.

ObjectiveThe sedation protocol for flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy has long been a matter of inconclusiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of remimazolam combined with alfentanil in flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy and provide insights for optimizing clinical anesthesia strategies.MethodsThis study was a randomized, single-blind controlled trial.

Background: Remimazolam besylate, despite being widely used in various clinical settings, lacks evidence in cardiac anesthesia. This trial compared its efficacy with propofol in elective cardiac surgery.
Methods: A total of 320 adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery via cardiopulmonary bypass between December 2024 and March 2025 were randomized 1:1 to either propofol (1 mg/kg for induction and 1-1.

Background: Remimazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine with less cardiorespiratory depression compared with propofol. The Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi) reflects oxygenation status in the mild hyperoxic range and can detect subtle respiratory depression induced by sedatives.
Objective: We compared remimazolam and propofol in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and assessed the ORi to evaluate the impact of these sedatives on oxygen reserve.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of low-dose alfentanil on the 50% effective dose (ED)/95% effective dose (ED) of remimazolam for successful loss of consciousness during general anesthesia in pediatric patients.
Patients And Methods: Fifty-two pediatric patients (aged 3-12, ASA I-II) scheduled for elective surgery were divided into two groups: Group A (n=24;alfentanil 5 μg kg + remimazolam 0.1 mg kg) and Group C (n=28;saline + remimazolam 0.
