Testing two anesthesia medicines to prevent confusion after surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using remimazolam or propofol during hip or knee replacement surgery can lower the risk of postoperative delirium, a sudden, short-term confusion that can happen after anesthesia. It may help people who are at higher risk of postoperative confusion by finding the safer anesthesia approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You’re having hip or knee replacement surgery and will be under general anesthesia
- You’re considered elderly
- Your body mass index (BMI) is greater than 30
- Your liver condition is not moderately to severely impaired
- Your kidneys condition is not moderately to severely impaired
- You can safely come off the breathing tube in the operating room right after surgery

This trial compares a newer anesthetic, remimazolam, to standard care to see if it helps prevent short-term memory or thinking problems after surgery on the aortic arch (a major artery in the chest). It also checks blood markers of brain inflammation. If you are having this type of surgery, this study might help protect your memory.
This study is testing whether the anesthesia drug remimazolam can help protect your kidneys after liver or pancreas surgery. It's comparing it to a standard anesthesia drug to see if it reduces the chances of kidney injury after the operation.
This study compares two sedative medicines to see which one causes less confusion or delirium in older adults after heart valve surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two medications during their surgery.
This trial compares the anesthesia medicines remimazolam and propofol during major surgery to see how patients do afterward. It may help guide which anesthetic is safer or leads to better recovery in higher-risk patients.
This study looks at whether a medicine that reverses sedation can help your thinking and memory recover faster after hip replacement surgery. You'll receive spinal anesthesia, and you'll get either the study drug or a placebo to see how it affects your brain function after the operation.
This study compares two sedative medications (remimazolam and dexmedetomidine) to see which one better prevents confusion or disorientation (called delirium) after heart surgery. Participants receive one of the two medicines during their operation, and researchers monitor them for signs of delirium during recovery.
