Arms & Interventions

Remimazolam besylate

Experimental

Remimazolam besylate at an initial infusion rate of 0.15 mg/kg/h and adjusted (maximum of 0.3 mg/kg/h) to maintain a RASS score between - 3 and 0

Intervention: Remimazolam besylate (Drug)

Propofol

Active Comparator

Propofol intravenously at an initial infusion rate of 2.0 mg/kg/h and adjusted (maximum of 4.0 mg/kg/h) to maintain a RASS score between - 3 and 0

Intervention: Propofol (Drug)
