Effects of Aging on the Maintenance Dose of Remimazolam Anesthesia in Clinical Settings:
Introduction: Remimazolam is a novel benzodiazepine characterized by rapid onset and offset owing to its unique ester bond, which is rapidly hydrolyzed in the liver. Although the effects of benzodiazepines, including remimazolam, tend to be enhanced in elderly patients necessitating lower maintenance doses, the relationship between aging and remimazolam, which requires maintenance doses in clinical settings, remains unclear.
