Effect of Remimazolam and Propofol on Hemodynamic Stability During Anesthesia Induction in OPCAB Patients

Remimazolam is a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine. Several studies demonstrated that its efficacy as a sedative hypnotics for general anesthesia is non-inferior to propofol. However, evidence on the hemodynamic stability of remimazolam for the anesthesia induction in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting is lacking. This prospective randomized trial aims to compare hemodynamic stability during anesthesia induction between remimazolam and propofol in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
