Remimazolam vs midazolam for sedation in unstable ICU patients
Treatments studied
This trial compares two sedative medications, remimazolam and midazolam, to see which works better and is safer for deeply sedating adults on breathing machines who have unstable blood pressure. It may help doctors choose a sedation option that causes fewer drops in blood pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- On a breathing machine (ventilator) and expected to need sedation for at least 24 hours
- Unstable blood pressure requiring medications (vasopressors) and signs of reduced blood flow to organs (like high lactate or low urine output)

This study compares two sedation medicines—remimazolam vs midazolam—for very sick ICU patients who are on a breathing machine. It looks at whether one sedative works better or is safer for keeping patients comfortable while they’re critically ill.
This study tests whether a sedative medication called remimazolam helps patients on breathing machines (ventilators) in the ICU recover better and have fewer complications. You would receive this medication to keep you calm and comfortable while on the ventilator.
This trial tests a sedative called remimazolam besylate in patients who need a breathing tube and light sedation after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe.
This study tests a combination of two sedative drugs (remazolam besylate and remifentanil) for calming patients with sepsis who are on a ventilator in the ICU. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery compared to standard care.
This study compares two different sedative medicines, remimazolam and midazolam, to see which works better for people having a routine upper GI endoscopy (a camera test to look at your stomach and esophagus). If you are scheduled for this procedure and need sedation, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two sedatives, remimazolam and midazolam, to see which one leads to better recovery of thinking skills after orthopedic surgery. It is for people aged 65 and older who are having surgery on a bone or joint while awake but relaxed.
