Remimazolam versus propofol and their links to preventing confusion after surgery in older adults
Updated
Abstract
The meta-analysis included five randomized controlled trials with 1,368 patients.
- No statistically significant difference in postoperative delirium incidence was found between remimazolam and propofol (risk ratio = 0.88).
- Remimazolam was associated with a significant reduction in hypotensive events (risk ratio = 0.55).
- There were no differences between the groups regarding postoperative nausea and vomiting incidence.
- Results suggest that remimazolam does not increase the risk of postoperative delirium in elderly surgical patients.
