However, fluid restriction and the effects of general anesthetics may increase the risk, depth, or duration of intraoperative hypotension. Remimazolam may cause less hypotension than propofol, but evidence during major hepatectomy under low central venous pressure management remains limited.\n\nThis is an investigator-initiated, single-center, two-arm, parallel-group, randomized superiority trial. The study will enroll 224 adults scheduled for elective resection of at least three Couinaud liver segments. Participants will be assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive remimazolam or propofol for maintenance of total intravenous anesthesia. Both groups will receive a common etomidate-based induction regimen, the same target depth of anesthesia, continuous invasive arterial pressure monitoring, and standardized protocols for low central venous pressure management and treatment of hypotension.\n\nThe primary observation period is the complete period of liver parenchymal transection during low central venous pressure management. The primary outcome integrates the depth and duration of mean arterial pressure below 65 mmHg during this period. Additional assessments will examine vasopressor use, blood loss, transfusion, recovery, organ complications, myocardial injury, and adverse events. Participants will be followed through postoperative day 30.\n\nThe attending anesthesiologist cannot be blinded because remimazolam and propofol differ in appearance, preparation, and administration. Participants will remain unaware of their assigned treatment until postoperative outcome assessment is complete.
