Study summary

This study to compare the impacts of remimazolam or propofol on the left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) during anesthesia induction for non-cardiac surgery.

LV-GLS is analyzed by using speckle tracking technique of transthoracic echocardiography.

Read the detailed description

This study to compare the impacts of remimazolam or propofol on the left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) during anesthesia induction for non-cardiac surgery (n=40).

Remimazolam or propofol is randomly administered for anesthesia induction (Group-R and Group-P, respectively) The changes of LV-GLS are analyzed by using using speckle tracking technique. For this study, 2-dimensional of transthoracic echocardiography LV images (apical 2-chamber, 3-chamber, and 4-chamber views) are recorded and stored before administration of remimazolam/propofol (T0), 2 minutes after the administration (T2), 4 minutes after the administration (T4), and 6 minutes after the administration (T6).

After the completion of the study, LV-GLS values at T0, T2, T4 and T6 are determined by the off-line analyses of the recorded and stored 2D-images.

For the off-line determination of LV-GLS, an automated software of speckle-tracking technique (Qapp Autostrain-LV™, Philips) is employed.

The primary measure:

Inter-group comparison of the lowest LV-GLS value out of LV-GLS values at T2, T4, and T6.

The secondary measures:

Inter-group comparisons of the LV-GLS values at T0, T2, T4 and T8. Intra-group comparisons of the LV-GLS value at T0 vs. those at T2, T4 and T8
