About this trial

The purpose of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to compare the total consumption of remimazolam between two different administration methods-Target-Controlled Infusion (TCI) and manual infusion-in patients undergoing cerebrovascular bypass surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients scheduled to undergo cerebrovascular bypass surgery under general anesthesia.

American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status 1, 2, or 3

Adults aged 19 years or older

Patients who have provided prior written informed consent to participate in the study

Disqualifiers

Patients who do not consent to participate in the research

Patients classified as ASA Physical Status 4

Patients with a BMI ≤18.5 kg/m2 or 35.0 ≥ kg/m2

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Target-Controlled Infusion (TCI) of Remimazolam

    Other intervention

    Remimazolam is administered using a target-controlled infusion (TCI) pump based on the Schuttler pharmacokinetic model. The initial target effect-site concentration (Ce) is set at 0.7 μg/mL and adjusted in 0.1 μg/mL increments to maintain a depth of anesthesia between Patient State Index (PSi) 25 and 50.

  • Manual Infusion of Remimazolam

    Other intervention

    Remimazolam is administered via traditional manual weight-based infusion. For anesthesia induction, a rate of 6 mg/kg/hr is used. For maintenance, the infusion rate starts at 1 mg/kg/hr and is adjusted in 0.2 mg/kg/hr increments to maintain a PSi between 25 and 50.

Total Consumption of Remimazolam

The total cumulative dose of remimazolam ($mg$) administered from the initiation of anesthesia induction until the completion of the surgical procedure.

Time frame
From the start of anesthesia induction to the end of surgery (intraoperative period).
