Effects of Remimazolam on Brain Activity in Children

Electroencephalogram Study in Children Under Remimazolam Anesthesia - a Prospective,Observational Study

Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University · NCT06698705

This study looks at how a type of anesthesia called Remimazolam affects brain activity in children aged 1 to 12 years during surgery to help improve safety and monitoring.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates how Remimazolam anesthesia affects brain electrical activity in children aged 1 to 12 years. Participants will be grouped by age and monitored for changes in electroencephalography (EEG) during anesthesia induction, maintenance, and recovery. The study aims to identify specific EEG patterns associated with Remimazolam, which may improve monitoring techniques for anesthesia depth in pediatric patients. Informed consent will be obtained from parents or legal guardians prior to participation.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are children aged 1 to 12 years requiring general anesthesia with Remimazolam and classified as ASA physical status I or II.

Not a fit: Patients with congenital malformations, severe medical conditions, or recent upper respiratory infections may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the safety and effectiveness of anesthesia monitoring in children.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have indicated specific EEG patterns during Remimazolam anesthesia in adults, suggesting potential for success in this pediatric population.
