Comparison of the safety and efficacy of remimazolam for sedation during bronchoscopy: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Remimazolam is a highly effective and safe sedative for bronchoscopy. It offers superior procedural success and faster recovery compared to dexmedetomidine and midazolam, while matching the high success rate of propofol. Its key safety advantage is significantly reduced hypotension risk compared to propofol, making it particularly suitable for vulnerable patients. Remimazolam represents a valuable addition to sedation options for this procedure.
