The efficacy and safety of remimazolam tosilate compared with propofol for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography under monitored anesthesia care: A single-center randomized controlled clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although remimazolam tosilate is an ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine that causes less respiratory and circulatory depression than propofol, studies evaluating its efficacy and safety during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are limited. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of remimazolam and propofol for ERCP performed under monitored anesthesia care (MAC).

Methods

This study is a randomized controlled clinical trial featuring a noninferiority design. A total of 102 eligible patients undergoing ERCP under MAC were randomly assigned to either the remimazolam tosilate group (R group) or the propofol group (P group) in a 1:1 ratio. Patients in the R group were sedated with remimazolam tosilate, while those in the P group received p
