Can remimazolam protect heart health during surgery?
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a sedative called remimazolam can help protect the heart during surgery in older adults. If you are 65 or older and having a longer surgery with general anesthesia, this trial may be for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years old or older
- You are scheduled for surgery that requires general anesthesia (you'll be asleep)
- Your surgery is expected to take 2 hours or longer
- You are healthy enough to be rated as ASA I, II, or III (generally in fair to good health)
- You have not had a stroke, brain bleed, or heart block in the past 3 months

This trial tests a medication called Remimazolam Besylate to sedate patients who need a breathing tube after heart surgery. The goal is to help patients relax while they recover in the intensive care unit.
This trial tests whether a medication called remimazolam can help prevent atrial fibrillation—a common, irregular heart rhythm that can happen after surgery. It focuses on people having a specific planned type of heart bypass surgery and checks if the study medication reduces postoperative rhythm problems.
This trial tests a newer anesthetic drug, remimazolam, during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It aims to see if it is safe and works well for patients having this type of surgery.
This study tests whether a newer type of anesthesia (remimazolam) helps protect memory and thinking after heart surgery. It may help older adults keep their mental sharpness following 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 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.
