Hemodynamic impact of remimazolam versus propofol during painless colonoscopy in older adults: A multicenter, single-blind, randomized controlled trial

Key Points

• Investigate the hemodynamic effects of remimazolam compared to propofol during colonoscopy in older adults.
• Multicenter, single-blind, randomized controlled trial design
• Participants were older adults undergoing painless colonoscopy
• Comparison of remimazolam and propofol as sedative agents
• Monitoring of intraoperative hemodynamics, specifically hypotension
• Remimazolam significantly reduced the incidence of intraoperative hypotension compared to propofol
• Indicates remimazolam is a safer sedation option for elderly patients during procedures.
