General Anesthesia Using Remimazolam and Remifentanil Without Neuromuscular Blocking Agent: Prospective Observational Study

Remimazolam is a novel drug approved for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. This study aims to check the appropriate dose and patient response by administering remimazolam and remifentanil in surgery that does not require a neuromuscular blocking agents.
