Assessment

Primary outcomes

Compare oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, and total energy expenditure before and after induction of general anesthesia.

Key secondary outcomes

Compare biological signs (blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, BIS) and oxygen supply/demand balance indices (CaO2, DO2, ERO2) before and after induction of general anesthesia.
Comparison of drug effect site concentrations (remimazolam, remifentanil, fentanyl, volume of supplemental fluid, hypertensive drugs, etc.) after induction of general anesthesia.
Compare the respiratory status of spontaneous breathing (volume and frequency of breathing) and ventilator settings during general anesthesia (volume and frequency of breathing, maximum airway pressure, compliance, and dead space volume).
Factors contributing to the difference in EE before and after induction will be investigated by multivariate analysis.

Baseline Characteristics

This study included patients scheduled for surgery in whom remimazolam was administered as a general anesthetic.

Participant flow

VO2 and VCO2 were measured at different intervals: upon awakening (T1), 15 min after tracheal intubation (T2), and 1 h after T2 (T3). Oxygen delivery (DO2) was calculated simultaneously with these measurements. VO2 was ascertained using an indirect calorimeter and further calculated using vital signs, among other factors. DO2 was derived from cardiac output and arterial blood gas analysis performed with an arterial pressure-based cardiac output measurement system.

Adverse events

none

1-1. After entering the operating room, transcutaneous oxygen saturation measurement, electrocardiogram measurement, non-invasive arterial pressure measurement, peripheral venous line securement, arterial line securement, and body temperature measurement are performed.
Arterial blood gas measurement is performed about once an hour from the time of entering the operating room to the time of leaving the room. All other monitoring should be performed continuously from the time the patient enters the operating room to the time the patient leaves.
2. Before induction of general anesthesia (T1), record the basic metabolic rate using an indirect calorimeter (Measurement 1). (Metabolic rate measurement should be performed for at least 5 minutes after the start of measurement, and for about 5 minutes after hemodynamic stability. Measurements (1) and (2) should be averaged over 5 minutes.)
Perform preoxygenation for about 2-3 minutes.
4-1. Administer remimazolam 12 mg/kg/hr and remifentanil 0.2-0.5 mcg/kg/min. When sleep is confirmed, reduce the dose to remimazolam 1.0 mg/kg/hr and give rocuronium 0.8 mg/kg. Two to three minutes later, intubation is performed. After intubation, the dose of remifentanil should be reduced to 0.1 mcg/kg/min to maintain anesthesia.
After tracheal intubation and stabilization of hemodynamic and respiratory status (T2), metabolic rate is measured using an indirect calorimeter (Measurement 2).
6. From T2 to the end of surgery (Tn (n>=3)), metabolic rate measurement is performed once an hour (Measurement n (n>=3)).
