Remimazolam for anesthesia and sedation in pediatric ambulatory surgery: A scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Remimazolam, an innovative benzodiazepine, exhibits potential for use in anesthesia and sedation for pediatric outpatient procedures, due to its rapid onset, predictable metabolism, and favorable safety profile. While adult studies are increasing, comprehensive evidence for pediatric use remains limited. This scoping review aims to systematically summarize and delineate the existing evidence concerning the application and features of remimazolam in anesthesia and sedation for outpatient pediatric surgical procedures.

Objective

To systematically map existing evidence on remimazolam use in pediatric ambulatory surgery anesthesia and sedation, identifying key concepts, evidence sources, and knowledge gaps.

Methods

Following JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR guide
