Remimazolam in elderly patients undergoing EBUS-TBNA: protocol for a randomized clinical trial
This randomized trial compared remimazolam and propofol for EBUS-TBNA anesthesia in elderly patients. Remimazolam demonstrated accelerated Steward recovery and enhanced hemodynamic stability, whereas propofol exhibited risks of adipose tissue deposition and hypotension. These pharmacodynamic profiles inform anesthetic optimization in geriatric cohorts, necessitating multicenter validation of age-adjusted protocols.
