Effects of Remimazolam on Breathing Patterns, Respiratory Drive, and Inspiratory Effort in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
Sedatives and analgesics are usually given for analgesic, anxiolytic, or sedating purposes for patients with critical illness, while they inevitably inhibit respiratory and circulatory function. Sometimes, patients receive deep sedation to induce hypoventilation or suppress spontaneous respiratory effort. The sedation level in clinical practice is usually assessed with subjective sedation scoring systems, such as the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS). However, studies have found that sedation depth based on RASS is not a reliable marker of respiratory drive during critical illness. In recent years, researchers have proposed to monitor the effects of sedatives and analgesics on respiratory indicators and to implement lung-protective sedation, such as airway occlusion pressure (P0.1), airway occlusion pressure (Pocc). However, different pharmacological characteristics, different depths of sedation, and different sedation regimens among different sedatives and analgesics make a great difference in their effects on respiration. Remimazolam is a new benzodiazepine sedative developed by adding a methyl propionate side chain to the structure of midazolam. As an organic weak base, remimazolam forms a salt with benzenesulfonic acid, which enhances its solubility and stability. The sedative effect of remimazolam primarily occurs through binding to γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors, opening chloride channels, promoting chloride ion influx, hyperpolarizing neuronal membranes, and thereby suppressing neuronal excitability. The drug acts rapidly, achieving maximum sedation within three minutes after administration. Research on adverse effects of remimazolam remains limited, particularly regarding its impact on respiratory function. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of remimazolam on breathing patterns, respiratory drive, and inspiratory effort in mechanically ventilated patients.

Experimental: Remimazolam
The investigators conducted a single-arm, prospective physiological trial to assess the respiratory effects of remimazolam. The study enrolled 20 patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. Remimazolam was initiated at 0.15 mg/kg/h and increased it by 0.025 mg/kg/h every 30 minutes, up to a maximum of 0.3 mg/kg/h. The primary outcomes were changes in breathing pattern (respiratory rate (RR), tidal volume (VT), and minute ventilation (Vmin)), respiratory drive (airway occlusion pressure (P0.1)), and inspiratory effort (pressure muscle index (PMI) and airway occlusion pressure (ΔPocc)) after 0.15 mg/kg/h infusion of remimazolam. |
Remimazolam will be infused at 0.15,0.175,0.20,0.225,0.25,0.275, 0.3 mg/kg/h in sequence for 30 minutes at each dose. |
