Does remimazolam reduce the rate of hypotension compared to propofol in elderly patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy?
Remimazolam is associated with a lower rate of hypotension compared to propofol during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in elderly patients.
Remimazolam may be preferred over propofol to reduce hypotension in elderly upper GI endoscopy patients; provides first RCT data where evidence was insufficient.
Remimazolam was associated with a lower rate of hypotension in elderly patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy under deep sedation/anaesthesia than propofol.
