Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Remimazolam is an ultra-short acting benzodiazepine agonist which is used widely for general anesthesia and sedation. Remimazolam has several advantages. Remimazolam is rapidly metabolized by tissue esterase that it does not accumulate even after infusion for long periods of time. The presence of reversal agents (flumazenil) is also advantageous. Also, hemodynamic stability compared to propofol gives clinicians preference to use for geriatric anesthesia. However, the study on the effect of remimazolam compared to propofol on postoperative delirium have not been carried out. The purpose of the study is to compare the incidence of postoperative delirium and recovery profile in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery using either remimazolam or propofol.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Remimazolam group

Remimazolam is started during induction of anesthesia at the rate of 6 mg/kg/hr and continued at the rate of 1 mg/kg/hr (within 0.3-2 mg/kg/hr). Remimazolam is stopped 20 minutes before end of operation.

Remimazolam is continuously infused based on bispectral index (within 40-60).

Propofol group

Propofol is continuously infused within 1-5 μg/mL.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Propofol

Intervention Type DRUG

Propofol is continuously infused based on bispectral index (within 40-60).
