Study summary

This study aims to compare total intravenous anesthetic agents: combined remimazolam and propofol vs. propofol monotherapy. The comparison parameters are intraoperative hypotension, patient's involuntary movement, neurophysiological monitoring quality, onset time, recovery time, and postoperative rescue anti-emetics requirements.

Read the detailed description

This study hypothesizes that the combination regimen of remimazolam and propofol as total intravenous anesthesia in neurosurgical procedures requiring neurophysiological monitoring can reduce the incidence of hypotension compared to propofol monotherapy while providing comparable levels of neurophysiological monitoring and surgical conditions. With this hypothesis, the study aims to compare the frequency, severity, and duration of hypotension, frequency of patient movement, and appropriateness of neurophysiological monitoring between the combination therapy of remimazolam and propofol and propofol monotherapy in total intravenous anesthesia.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of intraoperative hypotension

    mean arterial pressure \< 65mmHg

    Time frame: operation day - postoperative 1 day

Secondary outcomes

  1. Amount and number of inotropic agents

    intraoperative inotropics amount (phenylephrine(mcg), ephedrine(mg), norepinephrine(mcg), dopamine(mg))

    Time frame: operation day - postoperative 1 day

  2. Incidence of participants' intraoperative involuntary movement

    number of patients involuntary movement during operation (ex. no movement:0 , 3 times of movement: 3)

    Time frame: operation day - postoperative 1 day

  3. scores of neurophysiologic monitoring quality

    0-5 scale of neurophysiologic monitoring quality, scored by neurophysiologic monitoring technologist (poor: 0, good: 5)

    Time frame: operation day - postoperative 1 day

  4. onset time of study drugs

    time from administration of study drugs(remimazolam+propofol or propofol) to Bispectral index value \< 60

    Time frame: operation day - postoperative 1 day

  5. The administration number of rescue anti-emetic agents

    postoperative rescue anti-emetic agents (ramosetron, palonosetron, metoclopramide) requirements

    Time frame: operation day - postoperative 3 day

  6. Time-weighted average of intraoperative hypotension

    (depth of hypotension in millimeters of mercury below a MAP of 65mmHg × time in minutes spent below a MAP of 65mmHg)÷total duration of operation in minutes

    Time frame: operation day - postoperative 1 day

  7. recovery time of study drugs (remimazolam+propofol or propofol)

    time from discontinuation of study drugs(remimazolam+propofol or propofol) to Bispectral index value \> 60

    Time frame: operation day - postoperative 1 day
