Overview
Brief Summary
How anesthetic drugs induce and maintain the behavioral state of general anesthesia is an important question in medicine and neuroscience. Different anesthetic drugs act on different molecular targets and neural circuit mechanisms, exhibiting drug-specific EEG features. As a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepines drugs, remimazolam has been accepted for induction and maintenance of clinical anesthesia. Compared to the traditional benzodiazepines drugs, remimazolam combines the safety of midazolam with the effectiveness of propofol, and also has the advantages of acting quickly, short half-life, no injection pain, slight respiratory depression, independent of liver and kidney metabolism, long-term infusion without accumulation, and has a specific antagonist: flumazenil. This study aimed to investigate the differences in the characteristics of EEG oscillations during general anesthesia by comparing propofol and remimazolam.

Arms & Interventions
Remimazolam group
1. Induction of anesthesia Slowly injects remimazolam 0.4-0.6 mg/kg (about 1 minute) until loss of consciousness (LoC), if the degree of sedation is insufficient, additional remimazolam (0.05 mg/kg each time) is allowed. After the LoC, intravenous sufentanil 0.3 \~0.5ug/kg and cisatracurium besylate 0.1 mg/kg are injected intravenously. After the muscles are sufficiently relaxed and blood circulation is stable, the tracheal tube is inserted under a glide scope. 2. Maintenance of anesthesia remimazolam 0.4\~1.2 mg/kg/h and remifentanil 0.1\~0.3 ug/kg/min are injected intravenously to maintain sedation and assistant analgesia, and cisatracurium besylate 0.02 mg/kg is allowed to add as appropriate. During the operation, the dose of anesthetic drugs is adjusted so that the fluctuation of heart rate and blood pressure did not exceed 10 %.
Intervention: Remimazolam
Propofol group
1. Induction of anesthesia Slowly injects propofol 2-4 mg/kg (about 1 min) until loss of consciousness (LoC), allowing additional propofol (0.5 mg/kg each time) if sedation is insufficient. after LoC, intravenous sufentanil 0.3 \~0.5ug/kg and cisatracurium besylate 0.1 mg/kg. after sufficient muscle relaxation and blood circulation stabilization, the tracheal tube was inserted under the sliding scope. 2. Maintenance of anesthesia propofol 4\~10mg/kg/h and remifentanil 0.1\~0.3 ug/kg/min are injected intravenously to maintain sedation and assistant analgesia, and cisatracurium besylate 0.02 mg/kg is allowed to add as appropriate. During the operation, the dose of anesthetic drugs is adjusted so that the fluctuation of heart rate and blood pressure did not exceed 10 %.
Intervention: Propofol
