Study Arms (2)
Remimazolam group
EXPERIMENTALGeneral anesthesia is induced by continuously injecting remimazolam (6 mg/kg/h) and remifentanil (2-6 ng/ml, target concentration controlled infusion) through an infusion pump. Afterwards, when the patient loses consciousness, rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg is injected for endotracheal intubation, and anesthesia is maintained with remimazolam (1-2 mg/kg/hr) and remifentanil after endotracheal intubation. When the surgery is completed, all anesthetic drugs being administered are stopped, and general anesthesia is terminated with flumazenil and sugammadex.
Propofol group
ACTIVE COMPARATORGeneral anesthesia is induced by continuously injecting propofol (2-6 mg/ml, target concentration controlled injection) and remifentanil (2-6 ng/ml, target concentration controlled injection) using a TCI infusion pump. Afterwards, when the patient loses consciousness, rocuronium 0.6mg/kg is injected for endotracheal intubation, and anesthesia is maintained with propofol and remifentanil after endotracheal intubation. When the surgery is completed, all anesthetic drugs being administered are stopped, and general anesthesia is terminated through sugammadex.
Interventions
General anesthesia is induced and maintained by continuous infusion of remimazolam and remifentanil, and recovered with flumazenil.
General anesthesia is induced and maintained by continuous infusion of propofol and remifentanil.
