Comparison of Postoperative QoR-15 Scores Between Sevoflurane and Remimazolam

April 23, 2023 updated by: Myoung Hwa Kim, Gangnam Severance Hospital

Comparison of Quality of Recovery (QoR)-15 Scores According to the Use of Anesthetics During General Anesthesia in the Cervical Spine Surgery Patients: Sevoflurane vs. Remimazolam

The purpose of the study is to compare the quality of recovery (QoR)-15 scores according to the use of maintenance anesthetics in the cervical spine surgery. Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) have been known to help reducing risks of postoperative nausea/vomiting and malignant hyperthermia. However, it is still not enough to explain which is better between TIVA or inhalation anesthesia. In particular, there is no study to investigate overall postoperative functional recovery via QoR-15 in patients receiving TIVA with remimazolam. The hypothesis of the investigators study is that, in patients with cervical spine surgery, total intravenous anesthesia based on remimazolam can improve the the quality of recovery compared to inhalation anesthesia based on sevoflurane.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Arm 1) Sevoflurane group
Sevoflurane based inhalation anesthesia
Sevoflurane group will be inducted with bolus of propofol 1% and maintained with sevofulrane as inhalation and TCI Minto model of remifentanil for general anesthesia.
Active Comparator: Arm 2) Remimazolam group
Remimazolam based total intravenous anesthesia
Remimazolam group will be inducted with remiamazolam at 6 mg/kg/h and maintained with remimazolam at 0.5-1.5 mg/kg/h and TCI Minto model of remifentanil for general anesthesia.
