The effect of remimazolam versus conventional anesthesia on postoperative delirium in frail patients: a prospective, controlled cohort study
In this cohort of frail elderly patients, the use of remimazolam for general anesthesia was associated with a lower incidence of postoperative delirium compared to conventional anesthesia. This choice represents a promising, modifiable strategy for improving neurological outcomes in this high-risk group.
