Effect of Remimazolam on Motor Evoked Potential

March 13, 2023 updated by: Seok Kyeong Oh, Korea University Guro Hospital

Influence of Propofol and Remimazolam on Intraoperative Responses of Motor Evoked Potentials During Spine Surgery

This study was planned to investigate the degree of effect of remimazolam on MEP compared to propofol when monitoring the motion-inducing potential (MEP).

Other Names:
  • Remimazolam Besylate
Anesthesia induction and maintenance with remimazolam 60 minutes later, change the maintenance drug to propofol
Other Names:
  • Propofol
Experimental: Remimazolam-Propofol
General anesthesia was induced and maintained with remimazolam, then changed to propofol after 60 minutes from incision.
Anesthesia induction and maintenance with propofol 60 minutes later, change the maintenance drug to remimazolam
