Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Remimazolam with flumazenil
Patients allocated to remimazolam with flumazenil group receive remimazolam as the main anesthetics during general anesthesia and then flumazenil administration at the end of anesthesia. Remifentanil continuous infusion can be used for hemodynamic stability and analgesia.
|
Drug: REMIMAZOLAM BESYLATE 2.5 Mg in 1 mL INTRAVENOUS INJECTION, POWDER, LYOPHILIZED, for SOLUTION [BYFAVO]
Remimazolam Besylate is used as an intervention drug for general anesthesia, followed by flumazenil administration at the end of anesthesia, compared to propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia during breast cancer surgery under general anesthesia
Other Name: Remimazolam Besylate Drug: Flumazenil Flumazenil is used as an additional intervention drug to facilitate emergence from general anesthesia in the Remimazolam with Flumazenil group. |
Active Comparator: Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia
Patients allocated to the propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia group receive propofol as the main anesthetics during general anesthesia until the end of anesthesia. Remifentanil continuous infusion can be used for hemodynamic stability and analgesia.
|
Drug: Propofol
Propofol is used as an active comparator drug for general anesthesia until the end of anesthesia, to be compared to remimazolam besylate during breast cancer surgery under general anesthesia. |
- Time to eye opening (minute) [ Time Frame: 20 minutes after anesthesia emergence ]The time to the first eye-opening response to the doctor's command from the discontinuation of anesthetic agents
- Time to emergence (minutes) [ Time Frame: 20 minutes after anesthesia emergence ]The time from anesthetics off to extubation/discharge from operating room
- Bispectral index score (Score) [ Time Frame: During 20 minutes after anesthesia emergence (3 point : Time from anesthetics off to eye opening/extubation/discharge from operating room) ]A BIS score quantifies changes in the electrophysiologic state of the brain during anesthesia. In patients who are awake, a typical BIS score is 90 to 100. Complete suppression of cortical activity results in a BIS score of 0, known as a flat line. Lower numbers indicate a higher hypnotic effect.
- Incidence of emergence agitation at operating room (n(%)) [ Time Frame: Time Frame: 20 minutes after anesthesia emergence ]Ricker sedation agitated scale ≥5 was defined as emergence agitation, (1-7)
- The modified Aldrete score (Score) [ Time Frame: 30 minutes after post anaestheisa care unit adminstration ]The modified Aldrete score (0-10), Score ≥9 was defined as the possibility of discharge from PACU
- The modified Observers Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (Score) [ Time Frame: 30 minutes after post anaestheisa care unit adminstration ]The modified Observers Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (0-5), Score 5 was defined as respond readily to name spoken in normal tone.
- Postoperative Pain (score) [ Time Frame: 10/20/30 minutes after post anaestheisa care unit administation ]Numerical rating scales score (0-10) of pain, The higher score was defined as severe pain
- Postoperative opioid consumption (The number of analgesic use) [ Time Frame: from post anaestheisa care unit administation to post anaestheisa care unit discharge (during 30-40 minutes, upto 1 hours) ]Postoperative opioid requirement
- Postoperative nausea and vomiting (The incidence of PONV, n(%)) [ Time Frame: from post anaestheisa care unit administation to post anaestheisa care unit discharge (during 30-40 minutes, upto 1 hours) ]Postoperative nausea and vomiting
- Postoperative quality of recovery (score) [ Time Frame: upto 24 hours ]Korean version of quality of recovery-15, The higher score was defined as good satisfaction.
- Postoperative opioid consumption (The number of analgesic use) [ Time Frame: upto 24 hours ]Postoperative opioid requirement
- Postoperative Pain (score) [ Time Frame: upto 24 hours ]Numerical rating scales score (0-10) of pain, The higher score was defined as severe pain
