Trial summary

Remimazolam has demonstrated the potential as a valuable medication for procedural sedation and general anesthesia. However, half effective dose of remimazolam required to prevent cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation when combined with fentanyl in pediatric patients is still unknown.

What is being measured

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

  1. half effective dose for intubation

    half effective dose of remimazolam required to prevent cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation when combined with fentanyl

    Measured: from injection of remimazolam to completed tracheal intubation, at an average of 5 minutes

  2. cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation

    cardiovascular response is defined as increase of blood pressure or heart rate higher than 20% of the baseline value by 3 minutes after intubation

    Measured: from injection of remimazolam to 3 minutes after tracheal intubation, at an average of 8 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. the time to loss of consciousness

    Measured: from injection of remimazolam to loss of consciousness, at an average of 3 minutes

  2. incidence of adverse events

    adverse events include bradycardia, hypotension, hypoxemia, and injection pain

    Measured: from injection of remimazolam to loss of consciousness, at an average of 3 minutes

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

half effective dose for intubation (time frame: from injection of remimazolam to completed tracheal intubation, at an average of 5 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06170918, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
