Time to Loss of Consciousness With Remimazolam Versus Propofol for Anesthetic Induction in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (REMIPROP-LOC)

15. července 2026 aktualizováno: Fabrício Dias Antunes, Universidade Federal de Sergipe

Time to Loss of Consciousness With Remimazolam Versus Propofol During Anesthetic Induction for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Single-Center Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two medicines used to induce general anesthesia in adults undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study aims to determine whether remimazolam leads to a different time to loss of consciousness than propofol.

The main question it aims to answer is: Does remimazolam change the time to loss of consciousness compared with propofol during anesthesia induction?

Researchers will compare remimazolam with propofol to evaluate the time required for participants to lose consciousness. The study will also compare blood pressure, heart rate, and other safety outcomes during anesthesia induction.

Participants will:

  • Be randomly assigned to receive either remimazolam or propofol for anesthesia induction.
  • Receive standard monitoring and anesthesia care throughout surgery.
  • Have their time to loss of consciousness, vital signs, and any adverse events recorded during the induction period.

Detailní popis

General anesthesia can be induced with several intravenous hypnotic agents. Propofol remains a standard choice due to its rapid onset and predictable clinical effect; however, it is frequently associated with dose-dependent cardiovascular depression. Remimazolam, an ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine, represents an alternative with a distinct metabolic pathway via tissue esterases, potentially offering greater hemodynamic stability. Nonetheless, current literature comparing induction kinetics between these two pharmacological strategies exhibits high heterogeneity, often driven by variations in drug delivery methods and mixed surgical profiles.

To improve the internal validity of these clinical comparisons, this protocol restricts the evaluation to a single, specific surgical model. Narrowing the clinical environment to a uniform surgical procedure eliminates major confounding variables-such as widely divergent operational durations, patient positioning dynamics, unexpected blood loss, and varying baseline nociceptive stimuli-which typically complicate broader, multi-procedural anesthesia trials.

Furthermore, because the physical characteristics of the study medications preclude complete investigator masking during drug administration, specific operational safeguards are built into the clinical workflow. Anesthesia delivery during the induction phase relies entirely on pre-specified, automated delivery algorithms (comparing a fixed-rate continuous infusion against a pharmacokinetic target-controlled model) rather than subjective, clinician-guided titration. Utilizing fixed algorithmic delivery protocols prevents clinical preferences from influencing drug administration, thereby controlling for potential execution bias.

Following the induction phase, physiological tracking and depth-of-anesthesia monitoring are managed through objective, automated indices to ensure that post-induction adjustments remain standardized across both evaluation groups. This structured approach ensures that the resulting clinical observations reflect the distinct pharmacological and pharmacokinetic profiles of the selected hypnotic strategies rather than confounding clinical management choices.

Experimentální: Remimazolam
Patients will receive intravenous remimazolam for both the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. Anesthesia induction will be initiated via continuous intravenous infusion at a fixed rate of 6 mg/kg/h until loss of consciousness is achieved. Following induction, anesthesia maintenance will be transitioned to a continuous intravenous infusion of remimazolam at a baseline rate of 1 mg/kg/h, which will be titrated dynamically to maintain objective depth-of-anesthesia monitoring using a bispectral index (BIS) target value between 40 and 60 until the end of the surgical procedure.
Lyophilized powder reconstituted for intravenous injection. Administered via an electronic infusion pump at a fixed continuous induction rate of 6 mg/kg/h until clinical benchmarks are achieved. Maintenance is sustained at a baseline continuous infusion rate of 1 mg/kg/h. To ensure a strictly standardized anesthetic baseline, all patients receive a uniform, weight-based co-administration of intravenous fentanyl and a neuromuscular blocking agent at induction, followed by a continuous intraoperative analgesic infusion of remifentanil via target-controlled infusion (TCI) guided by the Minto model (effect-site targeting). Maintenance remimazolam doses are precisely titrated based on real-time bispectral index (BIS) values to target a depth of anesthesia between 40 and 60.
Aktivní komparátor: Propofol
Patients will receive intravenous propofol for both the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. Anesthesia induction will be performed using a target-controlled infusion (TCI) model with a fixed target concentration of 4 mcg/mL until loss of consciousness is achieved. Following induction, anesthesia maintenance will be continued via propofol infusion, titrated dynamically to maintain objective depth-of-anesthesia monitoring using a bispectral index (BIS) target value between 40 and 60 until the end of the surgical procedure.
Intravenous 1% lipid emulsion formulation of propofol. Administered via an automated target-controlled infusion (TCI) system programmed with the Marsh pharmacokinetic model. Induction is initiated at a fixed effect-site target concentration of 4 mcg/mL. To ensure a strictly standardized anesthetic baseline, all patients receive a uniform, weight-based co-administration of intravenous fentanyl and a neuromuscular blocking agent at induction, followed by a continuous intraoperative analgesic infusion of remifentanil via target-controlled infusion (TCI) guided by the Minto model (effect-site targeting). Maintenance propofol infusion rates are dynamically adjusted to maintain an objective bispectral index (BIS) within the 40-60 range.

Time to Loss of Consciousness (TLOC)
Časové okno: From the initiation of the hypnotic agent infusion until the achievement of loss of consciousness (estimated time frame of up to 5 minutes during the anesthesia induction phase).
The duration, measured in seconds, from the exact initiation of the intravenous hypnotic agent infusion (either remimazolam or propofol) until the participant achieves clinical loss of consciousness. Loss of consciousness is strictly defined as the co-occurrence of two clinical criteria: the complete loss of response to a standardized verbal command (calling the patient's name aloud) and the absence of the eyelash/palpebral reflex (córneo-palpebral reflex), assessed continuously during the anesthesia induction phase.
From the initiation of the hypnotic agent infusion until the achievement of loss of consciousness (estimated time frame of up to 5 minutes during the anesthesia induction phase).
