Study Overview

Brief Summary

Spinal cord injury is one of the most dangerous complications of scoliosis orthopedic surgery, and the Stagnara awakening test has been used in orthopedic spine surgery and is considered the "gold standard" for detecting spinal cord injury. During the awakening test, the patient is awakened from anesthesia and, in conjunction with a neurological assessment, moves his or her fingers and toes to determine the integrity of spinal cord motor function in order to avoid spinal cord injury. During this procedure, the patient still requires a degree of sedation and analgesia to tolerate tracheal intubation and surgical pain. Remazolam benzoate for injection is a new class of benzodiazepines that are ultra-short-acting sedative/anesthetic drugs. It has the advantages of rapid onset, rapid elimination, and no drug accumulation by continuous infusion, and has the advantage of being applied to wake up during spinal orthopedic surgery, but its effectiveness and safety are still unclear. This study aims to elucidate the safety and efficacy of rimazolam benzoate for injection for arousal in spinal orthopedic surgery through a single-center, randomized, single-blind, positive drug-controlled trial, with the aim of providing a basis for the development of a safe and effective anesthetic protocol for such surgery.

  • Patients with a history of severe neurological disorders.
  • Patients with psychiatric disorders.
  • Patients who have taken benzodiazepines and/or opioids daily for one month or intermittently for the last three months.

Arms & Interventions

remimazolam group

Experimental

For induction of anesthesia, rimazolam benzoate was pumped at a rate of 12 mg/kg/h; for maintenance of anesthesia, 1.0-2.0 mg/kg/h rimazolam was given as a continuous pump.

Intervention: Remimazolam (Drug)

propoful group

Active Comparator

For induction of anesthesia, propofol medium-length chain fatty milk injection 2 mg/kg was given by intravenous push; for maintenance of anesthesia, 6-8 mg/kg/h propofol medium-length chain fatty milk injection was given by continuous pumping.

Intervention: Propofol (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Mean time to arousal

Time Frame: Perioperative period

the time between the cessation of intraoperative drug infusion and the subject's ability to move the toes on command.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Quality of arousal(Perioperative period)
  • Mean time from initiation of dosing to MOAA/S score ≤1(Perioperative period)
  • Mean time from discontinuation at the end of surgery to full awakening of the subject(Perioperative period)
  • Proportion of successful induction of anesthesia(Perioperative period)
  • EEG characteristics during the induction, maintenance and awakening periods(Perioperative period)
