Remimazolam Versus Dexmedetomidine for Procedural Sedation During Neuraxial Anesthesia Placement For Scheduled Cesarean Delivery

Patients presenting for a scheduled cesarean delivery who require a neuraxial anesthetic will be randomized to receive intravenous remimazolam or dexmedetomidine for procedural sedation during the placement of their spinal or epidural anesthesia.

Description détaillée

After obtaining consent, women presenting for scheduled cesarean delivery on the labor floor at Mount Sinai Hospital will be randomized into two groups to receive either remimazolam or dexmedetomidine. Baseline maternal demographic data, vital signs, and anxiety scores will be obtained. Prior to the placement of the spinal or epidural anesthesia, the unblinded clinical team will administer weight-based intravenous boluses of the assigned study medication, titrated to a target Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) score of -1 to -2. Maternal anxiety scores and vital signs will be continuously monitored at 5-minute intervals throughout the neuraxial placement procedure. Following the completion of the cesarean delivery, a blinded research member will administer a brief survey in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) to evaluate patient satisfaction and memory preservation.

Armes et Interventions

Groupe de participants / Bras
Intervention / Traitement
Expérimental: Remimazolam
Participants randomized to this arm will receive intravenous remimazolam for procedural sedation prior to and during the placement of neuraxial anesthesia (spinal or epidural) for their scheduled cesarean delivery. Dosing will be titrated by an unblinded anesthesiologist to achieve a light target sedation level.
Médicament: Remimazolam
Administered via multiple weight-based intravenous boluses of 0.03 mg/kg over 1-2 minutes. Boluses are titrated sequentially until the patient reaches a target Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) score of -1 to -2. Once the target sedation window is initially achieved, the clinical anesthesiologist will ask the patient if they desire additional anxiolysis; additional boluses will be given only upon explicit patient request. Administration terminates immediately upon successful placement of the neuraxial block.
Comparateur actif: Dexmedetomidine
Participants randomized to this arm will receive intravenous dexmedetomidine for procedural sedation prior to and during the placement of neuraxial anesthesia (spinal or epidural) for their scheduled cesarean delivery. Dosing will be titrated by an unblinded anesthesiologist to achieve a light target sedation level.
Médicament: Dexmedetomidine
Administered via multiple weight-based intravenous boluses of 0.1 μg/kg over 1-2 minutes. Boluses are titrated sequentially until the patient reaches a target Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) score of -1 to -2. Once the target sedation window is initially achieved, the clinical anesthesiologist will ask the patient if they desire additional anxiolysis; additional boluses will be given only upon explicit patient request. Administration terminates immediately upon successful placement of the neuraxial block.

Description de la mesure
Délai
Sedation success
Délai: From the initiation of study drug administration until participant discharge from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), up to approximately 4 hours post-delivery.

This will be a composite primary outcome that is patient focused with values "Yes" or "No." To achieve a "Yes" for sedation success, all the following components must be met:

  • Satisfaction of anxiolysis rated as ≥ 2 on a 9-point scale (where -4 = Completely Dissatisfied, 0 = Neutral, and +4 = Completely Satisfied)
  • Preserved memory of the birth
  • No vital sign changes during the neuraxial placement, defined as hypotension (SBP < 80% of baseline), hypertension (SBP > 120% of baseline), bradycardia (HR < 60 bpm), tachycardia (HR > 100 bpm), respiratory depression (RR < 12 breaths/min), hypoxia (SpO2 < 90%). Baseline is defined as pre-op vitals taken in the PACU.
  • Would get the medication again
From the initiation of study drug administration until participant discharge from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), up to approximately 4 hours post-delivery.

This is the pH of the umbilical artery and vein. Umbilical cord blood pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in the blood obtained from the umbilical artery and/or umbilical vein at birth. The pH scale is continuous, with a lower pH indicating greater acidemia. A lower pH may reflect increased fetal exposure to intrapartum hypoxia.

Délai: Up to approximately 4 hours post-delivery.
Base excess in umbilical cord blood is a continuous measure reported in mmol/L (or mEq/L).
