Comparison in Frequency of Hypotension During Sedation of Propofol and Remimazolam in Spinal Anesthesia in Hip Surgery Patients: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of hypotension between remimazolam and propofol for intraoperative sedation in patients undergoing hip surgery with spinal anesthesia.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Remimazolam
A maintenance dose of remimazolam is administered for sedation
Patients receive remimazolam at a rate of 1 mg/kg/hr. When a patient's MOAA/S reaches 3 or less, the rate of remomazolam is maintained at a rate between 0.3 mg/kr/hr and 1.0 mg/kg/hr until the end of surgery.
Active Comparator: Propofol
A maintenance dose of propofol is administered for sedation
Patients are administered propofol with an effect-site concentration of 1.0 mcg/mL to 2.5 mcg/mL by target controlled infusion.
