Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Remimazolam is a newly introduced ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine. Remimazolam may have a better profile for surgeries that require intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring because early postoperative neurological examinations may be possible after anesthesia with remimazolam by using flumazenil, a benzodiazepine antagonist and because remimazolam has been reported to affect hemodynamic parameters less than does propofol. However, the effect of remimazolam on the motor-evoked potential (MEP) has not been investigated. A preliminary study conducted in our hospital suggested that the amplitude of MEP was not affected by the increment of remimazolam. Based on the results of the preliminary research, this study aims to determine the effects of remimazolam on the amplitude of MEPs.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Probability that the MEP amplitude of the left gastrocnemius muscle decreases by less than 50% after the remimazolam dose is increased from 1 mg/kg/h to 2 mg/kg/h

Key secondary outcomes

・The amplitudes and the onset latency of MEP in each muscle in two different doses of remimazolam
・The amplitudes and the latency of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) in two different doses of remimazolam
・The amplitudes of the evoked electromyograms (M-wave, F-wave, H-reflex) in two different doses of remimazolam
・Plasma concentrations of remimazolam under continuous infusion of remimazolam in two different doses
・Change in MEP amplitude over time
・Stimulus intensity required for supramaximal stimulation
・Number of muscles for which MEP could be recorded in two doses of remimazolam
・The time from termination of remimazolam infusion to neurological exam
・Hemodynamic changes and the dosage of the vasopressors
・Changes in bispectral index values

Interventions/Control_1

General anesthesia is maintained with remimazolam (1 mg/kg/h) and remifentanil. After the tracheal intubation, baseline values of TCE-MEP, SSEP, H-reflex, F-wave, and M-wave are recorded with the patient placed in a prone position. At this timepoint, a blood sample is collected to measure the plasma concentration of remimazolam at 1 mg/kg/h. Next, after a bolus dose of 0.05 - 0.1 mg/kg remimazolam is administered, the dose of remimazolam is increased to 2 mg/kg/h. Ten minutes after the increment, TCE-MEP, SSEP, H-reflex, F-wave, and M-wave are recorded and the blood sample is collected again.
