Effects of Remimazolam on Quality of Recovery After Ambulatory Surgery

Overview

Remimazolam is a novel ultra-short acting benzodiazepine with rapid onset of effects, short maintenance and faster recovery time. Due to its recent development, few studies have investigated the effect of remimazolam on postoperative recovery mainly focusing on physiologic endpoints, recovery time and possible adverse events. Although these parameters are crucial and need evaluation, the investigators ignore quality of recovery from participant's perspective. For this purpose, various measurment tools have been developed for psychometric evaluation of QoR score.

To date, there has not been a study investigating the impact of remimazolam on quality of recovery (QoR). This study evaluates the effect of remimazolam on QoR of participants undergoing general anesthesia using remimazolam-remifentanil total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) for hysteroscopy as day surgery basis. Herein, the investigators used the translated Korean version of the 15-item Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15K) questionnaire, which was previously validated in Korean surgical participants.
