Summary

Flumazenil rapidly antagonizes benzodiazepines (BZDs); it may induce agitation, seizure, or delirium, especially when applied to patients who have taken BZDs for a long time. On the contrary, it may help patients regain consciousness in a stable and calm state by appropriately reversing the central nervous system depressant effects of BZDs. In this study, we aim to investigate the impact of flumazenil on the emergence delirium in patients anesthetized with remimazolam, the short-acting BZD drug.

Conditions

  • Anesthesia, General

Interventions

DRUG

Flumazenil

After cessation of remimazolam infusion, flumazenil 0.2 mg is administered intravenously over 15 seconds. If consciousness is not adequately restored within 3-5 minutes, a second dose of 0.1 mg intravenously over 15 seconds is administered. If necessary, 0.1 mg may be administered repeatedly at 3-5 minute intervals, and the maximum dose of 1 mg should not be exceeded.
