简要总结
This clinical trial aims to establish whether reversing remimazolam sedation with flumazenil can prevent postoperative neurocognitive disorders in patients undergoing total hip replacement surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does administering flumazenil after surgery lead to an improvement in cognitive function (measured by the MoCA scale) at 24 hours post-operation compared to a placebo?
- Does this intervention reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium within the first 48 hours? Researchers will compare flumazenil to a placebo (0.9% saline solution) to see if actively reversing sedation leads to better cognitive outcomes and a lower incidence of delirium.
Participants will:
- Undergo a planned total hip replacement surgery under spinal anesthesia.
- Receive sedation with remimazolam during the operation.
- At the end of the surgery, receive an intravenous injection of the study drug (flumazenil) or a placebo.
- Undergo assessments for cognitive function (using the MoCA scale) and delirium (using the 4AT scale) before and at multiple time points after the surgery.
- Complete a questionnaire about their quality of recovery (QoR-15).

研究组 & 干预措施
Flumazenil Group
Patients will receive a single intravenous bolus of 0.5 mg of flumazenil
干预措施: remimazolam sedation reversal with flumazenil (Drug)
Placebo Group
Patients will receive a single intravenous bolus of 0.9% NaCl
干预措施: placebo (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score
时间窗: from baseline (preoperative) to 24 hours after surgery
The MoCA is a cognitive screening tool. The total score ranges from 0 to 30 points. A higher score indicates better cognitive function.
次要结局
- Incidence of delirium (defined as a score of ≥ 4 on the 4AT scale)(within the first 48 hours after surgery, assessed every 6 hours.)
- Total duration of delirium episodes in hours(within the first 48 hours after surgery)
- Preoperative Anxiety Level assessed by Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS)(baseline (preoperative))
- Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score(at 1 and 6 hours after surgery)
- Mini Montreal Cognitive Assessment (mini-MoCA) scores (telephone assessment)(at 3 and 6 months after surgery)
- Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) Questionnaire Score(at 24 hours after surgery)
- The duration of hospital stay(Assessed up to 30 days post-surgery (or through hospital discharge, whichever occurs first).)
- Maximum and average pain intensity measured by Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at the following time points(6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery)
- Total oxycodone consumption (in mg)(during the first 48 hours after surgery)
- Mean bispectral index (BIS) during sedation and percentage of time within the optimal range (60-80)(during surgery)
- Total dose of remimazolam administered (in mg)(during surgery)
- Dose of vasopressor drugs(during surgery)
- Need for additional sedative drugs(during surgery)
