Remimazolam infusion associated with easier mask ventilation than propofol during anaesthesia induction
Small study finds remimazolam may ease mask ventilation during anesthesia induction
In a randomised trial of 76 adults undergoing elective surgery, continuous remimazolam infusion was associated with less mask ventilation di…
Patients given remimazolam had easier breathing through a mask and more stable blood pressure during surgery induction compared to propofol.
