Article Synopsis
- This study investigates postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) following general anesthesia, comparing remimazolam—a newer benzodiazepine—to sevoflurane in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgeries.
- Results showed that the remimazolam group had significantly lower rates of PONV (5%) compared to the sevoflurane group (45%) and required less rescue antiemetic medication within 24 hours.
- Although remimazolam was beneficial in reducing PONV and antiemetic use, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of recovery quality, as measured by the QOR-15 score.
