About this trial
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare total intravenous anesthesia with remimazolam vs total intravenous anesthesia with propofol in moderate-to-high risk patients undergoing major elective noncardiac surgery under general anesthesia. The primary hypothesis is that total intravenous anesthesia with remimazolam can increase days alive and out of hospital at postoperative day 30 compared with total intravenous anesthesia with propofol.
