Remimazolam TIVA-Flumazenil Antagonism in Short-duration ENT Surgeries (TIVA)

May 6, 2026 updated by: aijun xu, Tongji Hospital

Different Bispectral Index Guided Remimazolam Total Intravenous Anesthesia-flumazenil Antagonism in Short-duration Ear Nose Throat Surgeries: A Retrospective Cohort Study

This study plans to categorize patients who underwent short-duration ENT surgeries with remimazolam TIVA combined with flumazenil antagonism based on whether their intraoperative BIS values were maintained below 60.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

This study plans to categorize patients who underwent short-duration ENT surgeries with remimazolam TIVA combined with flumazenil antagonism into two groups based on whether their intraoperative BIS values were maintained below 60. It aims to compare the differences in postoperative recovery quality between the groups, thereby providing evidence-based support for determining the optimal BIS target range during remimazolam TIVA.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of intraoperative awareness
Time Frame: 2hours
Modified Brice Interview From the start of surgery to the end of surgery
2hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of secondary sedation
Time Frame: 1 day
Incidence of secondary sedation from flumazenil antagonization to discharge from the PACU
1 day
mean arterial pressure
Time Frame: 2 hours
The fluctuation range of intraoperative mean arterial pressure during surgery
2 hours
heart rate
Time Frame: 2 hours
The fluctuation range of intraoperative heart rate during surgery
2 hours
usage of vasoactive drugs
Time Frame: 2 hours

2 hours
Awakening time
Time Frame: 1 hours
From the end of anesthesia to awakening.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
March 9, 2026

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
