About this study

Official title: Comparison of Recovery From General Anesthesia in Remimazolam With Flumazenil Compared to Propofol-based Total Intravenous Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery: a Randomized Controlled Trial

This prospective randomized trial aims to compare recovery time from discontinuation of remimazolam followed by flumazenil administration vs. propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.

Read the detailed description

Adult patients undergoing breast cancer surgery are randomized to receive either remimazolam with flumazenil or propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia. When the surgery is ended, anesthetic agents are discontinued. The study's primary outcome is a comparison of the time to the first eye-opening response to the doctor's command from the discontinuation of anesthetic agents between the groups. Secondary outcomes include the time from anesthetics off to extubation/discharge from operating room (OR), BIS score at eye-opening/extubation/discharge from OR, the incidence of emergence agitation at OR, the PAT score, the modified Aldrete score, modified OAA/S (Observers Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale) after PACU administration. In addition, the investigators investigate postoperative pain score at 10/20/30 minutes and postoperative nausea and vomiting after PACU administration, Korean version of quality of recovery-15 in postoperative 24 hours, postoperative pain score and postoperative nausea and vomiting, postoperative opioid consumption in postoperative 24 hours.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • REMIMAZOLAM BESYLATE 2.5 Mg in 1 mL INTRAVENOUS INJECTION, POWDER, LYOPHILIZED, for SOLUTION [BYFAVO]Drug

    Also called Remimazolam Besylate

    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

  • FlumazenilDrug

    Flumazenil is used as an additional intervention drug to facilitate emergence from general anesthesia in the Remimazolam with Flumazenil group.

  • PropofolDrug

    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.

Study groups in NCT05435911
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Remimazolam with flumazenilExperimentalPatients 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.
Receives: Drug: REMIMAZOLAM BESYLATE 2.5 Mg in 1 mL INTRAVENOUS INJECTION, POWDER, LYOPHILIZED, for SOLUTION [BYFAVO]; Drug: Flumazenil
Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesiaActive comparatorPatients 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.
Receives: Drug: Propofol

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to eye opening (minute)

    The time to the first eye-opening response to the doctor's command from the discontinuation of anesthetic agents

    Measured: 20 minutes after anesthesia emergence

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Time to emergence (minutes)

    The time from anesthetics off to extubation/discharge from operating room

    Measured: 20 minutes after anesthesia emergence

  2. Bispectral index score (Score)

    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.

    Measured: During 20 minutes after anesthesia emergence (3 point : Time from anesthetics off to eye opening/extubation/discharge from operating room)

  3. Incidence of emergence agitation at operating room (n(%))

    Ricker sedation agitated scale ≥5 was defined as emergence agitation, (1-7)

    Measured: Time Frame: 20 minutes after anesthesia emergence

  4. The modified Aldrete score (Score)

    The modified Aldrete score (0-10), Score ≥9 was defined as the possibility of discharge from PACU

    Measured: 30 minutes after post anaestheisa care unit adminstration

  5. The modified Observers Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (Score)

    The modified Observers Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (0-5), Score 5 was defined as respond readily to name spoken in normal tone.

    Measured: 30 minutes after post anaestheisa care unit adminstration

  6. Postoperative Pain (score)

    Numerical rating scales score (0-10) of pain, The higher score was defined as severe pain

    Measured: 10/20/30 minutes after post anaestheisa care unit administation

  7. Postoperative opioid consumption (The number of analgesic use)

    Postoperative opioid requirement

    Measured: from post anaestheisa care unit administation to post anaestheisa care unit discharge (during 30-40 minutes, upto 1 hours)

  8. Postoperative nausea and vomiting (The incidence of PONV, n(%))

    Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Measured: from post anaestheisa care unit administation to post anaestheisa care unit discharge (during 30-40 minutes, upto 1 hours)

  9. Postoperative quality of recovery (score)

    Korean version of quality of recovery-15, The higher score was defined as good satisfaction.

    Measured: upto 24 hours

  10. Postoperative opioid consumption (The number of analgesic use)

    Postoperative opioid requirement

    Measured: upto 24 hours

  11. Postoperative Pain (score)

    Numerical rating scales score (0-10) of pain, The higher score was defined as severe pain

    Measured: upto 24 hours
