The Effect of Remimazolam on Postoperative Sleep Quality

A large amount of clinical evidence shows that after surgery, especially major surgery, the sleep quality of patients often drops significantly immediately, with the most obvious decline on the first night after surgery, which can last for several days to several months. Remimazolam is a new type of benzodiazepine drug and a super-short-acting GABAA receptor agonist. Compared with propofol, remimazolam can largely avoid adverse reactions such as hemodynamic fluctuations, excessive sedation and injection pain caused by propofol. It has good safety and is superior to propofol. However, there are currently only a few clinical research results regarding the impact of remimazolam on the sleep quality of patients under general anesthesia or sedation. Therefore, this study intends to observe the effect of remimazolam on the sleep quality of patients in gynecological day surgery. It is expected that by optimizing the anesthesia plan, the postoperative sleep quality of patients can be improved, and ultimately the postoperative recovery of patients can be promoted.

Treatment and study plan

Remimazolam

Drug

Remimazolam 0.3 mg/kg is slowly injected intravenously until loss of consciousness. Remimazolam 0.6-1.0 mg/kg·h is used for anesthesia maintenance.

Propofol

Drug

Propofol 2 mg/kg is slowly injected intravenously until loss of consciousness. Remimazolam 4-12 mg/kg·h is used for anesthesia maintenance

Primary outcomes

  1. Richard Campbell's Sleep Scale score

    Time frame: The night of the first to third postoperative day

    Range: 0 points (optimal sleep) to 10 points (optimal sleep). Direction: The higher the score, the more severe the sleep problem

Secondary outcomes

  1. Blood Pressure

    Time frame: Before anesthesia, before the insertion of the laryngeal mask, at the beginning of the operation, at the end of the operation, and when the laryngeal mask is removed

  2. Heart rate

    Time frame: Before anesthesia, before the insertion of the laryngeal mask, at the beginning of the operation, at the end of the operation, and when the laryngeal mask is removed.

  3. Postoperative adverse reactions

    Time frame: 24 hours after the operation

    such as postoperative pain, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.
