Patients Undergoing Thyroid Surgery for NeoplasmNCT05016518
Comparison of Quality of Recovery (QoR)-15 Scores Between Propofol and Remimazolam Anesthesia
A study testing Arm I (Propofol group) and Arm II (Remimazolam group) in people with Patients Undergoing Thyroid Surgery for Neoplasm, run by Gangnam Severance Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.
Trial summary
Remimazolam is a ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine that is rapidly metabolized in the body by tissue esterase and not accumulates in the body for long periods of infusion. In addition, similar to other benzodiazepines, it is possible to reverse the sedation and anesthetic effects through flumazenil. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Comparison of Quality of Recovery (QoR)-15 Scores According to the Use of Anesthetics During Total Intravenous Anesthesia in Female Patients Undergoing Thyroid Surgery
Remimazolam is a ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine that is rapidly metabolized in the body by tissue esterase and not accumulates in the body for long periods of infusion. In addition, similar to other benzodiazepines, it is possible to reverse the sedation and anesthetic effects through flumazenil. It has no injection pain and infusion syndrome compared with propofol. There is no study to investigate overall postoperative functional recovery via QoR-15 in patients receiving TIVA using remimazolam. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is any difference in the quality of postoperative recovery between propofol-based and remimazolam-based total intravenous anesthesia in female patients undergoing thyroidectomy. The QoR-15 questionnaire score, pain, nausea/vomiting, and the frequency of complications are evaluated and compared between the two groups.
- Being tested
- Arm I (Propofol group), Arm II (Remimazolam group)
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Arm I (Propofol group)Drug
Propfol group will be started and maintained total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil .
Arm II (Remimazolam group)Drug
Remimazolam group will be started and maintained total intravenous anesthesia with remimazolam and remifentanil.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Propofol group | Experimental | Propofol based total intravenous anesthesia Receives: Drug: Arm I (Propofol group) |
| Remimazolam group | Active comparator | Remimazolam based total intravenous anesthesia Receives: Drug: Arm II (Remimazolam group) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
postoperative day 1(POD1) Quality of Recovery(QoR)-15 questionnaire score
Quality of life will be evaluated using Quality of Recovery(QoR)-15 questionnaire score at postoperative day 1(minimum value : 0, maximum value : 150, the higher the score, the better the result)
Measured: Postoperative day 1
Secondary outcomes (11)
postoperative day 2(POD2) Quality of Recovery(QoR)-15 questionnaire score
Quality of life will be evaluated using Quality of Recovery(QoR)-15 questionnaire score at postoperative day 2(minimum value : 0, maximum value : 150, the higher the score, the better the result)
Measured: Postoperative day 2
Response time
Time from cessation of main anaesthetics to patients' response to verbal command
Measured: perioperative - until 48hours
Tracheal extubation time
Time from cessation of main anaesthetics to tracheal extubation
Measured: perioperative - until 48hours
Time to recovery of self respiration
Time from cessation of main anaesthetics to recovery of spontaneous breathing
Measured: perioperative - until 48hours
PACU(post-anesthesia care unit) stay time
from entry of PACU to go general ward
Measured: perioperative - until 48hours
Postoperative pain score
postoperative pain score measured by 11-point NRS(numerical rating scale) score (minimum : 0, maximum : 11, the lower the score, the lesser pain)
Measured: at admission to PACU, discharge from PACU, postoperative 6hours
Postoperative nausea and vomiting
postoperative nausea and vomiting will be evaluated using 2 point scale (yes, no) at admission to PACU, discharge from PACU, postoperative 6hours
Measured: at admission to PACU, discharge from PACU, postoperative 6hours
Postoperative sedation score
monitored through the sedation scale called Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale(RASS). RASS is a medical scale used to measure the agitation or sedation level of a person.The score ranges from +4 "combative" to -5 "unarousable".
Measured: at admission to PACU, discharge from PACU
the incidence of administration of postoperative rescue drug
administration of analgesic drug and anti-emetic drug for postoperative management
Measured: perioperative - until 72hours
hospital stay
days of hospital stay
Measured: preoperative - until discharge (usually 48 hours to 72hours)
postoperative complications
postoperative complications
Measured: preoperative - until discharge (usually 48 hours to 72hours)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Remimazolam is a ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine that is rapidly metabolized in the body by tissue esterase and not accumulates in the body for long periods of infusion. In addition, similar to other benzodiazepines, it is possible to reverse the sedation and anesthetic effects through flumazenil. It has no injection pain and infusion syndrome compared with propofol. There is no study to investigate overall postoperative functional recovery via QoR-15 in patients receiving TIVA using remimazolam.
