Article Synopsis
  • This study compared remimazolam and propofol for patient satisfaction after outpatient gynecological surgery, using a randomized clinical trial with 168 participants.
  • The results showed that remimazolam provided comparable anesthesia satisfaction scores to propofol, although patients in the remimazolam group had longer recovery room stays and reported higher nausea, pain, anxiety, and sleep issues on the first postoperative day.
  • Overall, remimazolam was found to be a viable alternative to propofol, despite some side effects, and should be considered for use in outpatient procedures.
