Summary

This study is a pragmatic, randomized controlled pilot trial comparing remimazolam with propofol for endoscopic procedures, designed to assess the feasibility and clinical outcomes associated with implementing a pragmatic randomized trial of sedation practices in the endoscopy setting.

Conditions

  • Anesthesia
  • Sedation
  • Endoscopy

Interventions

DRUG

Remimazolam

Remimazolam will be administered at 0.20 mg/kg for procedural sedation. The maximum initial bolus is 15 mg, with additional 2.5 mg doses given as needed to maintain sedation. Intravenous fentanyl (25-100 mcg) may be used adjunctively per clinician judgement

DRUG

Propofol

Propofol will be administered with an initial bolus of up to 1.5 mg/kg, followed by intermittent 10-40 mg boluses according to routine clinical practice. Intravenous fentanyl (25-100 mcg) may be used adjunctively per clinician judgement.
