Study summary

This study is designed as a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial to investigate the effect of remimazolam on intraoperative cardiac output (CO) in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia, and to evaluate its protective efficacy against elevated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels and perioperative myocardial injury.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial to compare the differential effects between remimazolam and propofol on intraoperative cardiac output (CO) in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia. Postoperative serial measurements of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) will be performed, and all enrolled participants will be prospectively followed up for 30 days postoperatively to document the incidence of Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery (MINS). The core technical workflows of this trial are standardized titration of study drug dosage, continuous intraoperative hemodynamic monitoring of CO, and systematic, time-point-aligned collection of perioperative biomarkers including hs-cTnT.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥ 65 years
  • Elderly hospitalized patients scheduled to undergo general anesthesia
  • (ASA) physical status I-III
  • Surgery to be performed in the supine position
  • Ability to communicate with the investigator and to cooperate in completing the assessment scales
  • Expected duration of surgery ≥ 2 hours

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Congenital heart disease, severe cardiac conduction block, or implanted cardiac pacemaker;
  • History of cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, or stroke within the past 3 months;
  • Known allergy to remimazolam or propofol;
  • Severe mental illness, history of analgesic abuse, or addiction to psychotropic drugs;
  • Patient or family members refuse surgery or anesthesia, or are unable to complete the required questionnaires.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ASA physical status

The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. postoperative day 1 hs-cTnT

    postoperative day 1 hs-cTnT level

    Time frame: postoperative day 1

Secondary outcomes

  1. CO-AUC₀-₁₅ₘᵢₙ

    Area under the curve (AUC) of the change in cardiac output (CO) from baseline within the first 15 minutes after induction.

    Time frame: within the first 15 minutes after induction of anaesthesia

  2. AUC for other cardiac function parameters

    Area-under-the-curve (AUC) values derived from the following haemodynamic parameters will also be evaluated: MAP, HR, CI, SV, SI, ICON, SVV, FTC, TFC, and STR.

    Time frame: within the first 15 minutes after induction of anaesthesia

  3. immediate postoperative hs-cTnT

    immediate postoperative hs-cTnT

    Time frame: immediate postoperative

  4. incidence of MINS within 30 days postoperatively

    incidence of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) within 30 days postoperatively

    Time frame: within 30 days postoperatively

  5. Quality of Recovery Score

    Quality of Recovery Score (QoR-15) at 24 Hours Post-Operatively;The score ranges from 0 to 150 points, with higher scores indicating better postoperative recovery quality.

    Time frame: 24 Hours Post-Operatively

  6. incidence of intraoperative hypotension

    incidence of intraoperative hypotension (defined as MAP \<65 mmHg for at least 1 minute or requiring vasopressor support)

    Time frame: intraoperative
