Testing remimazolam anesthesia to reduce memory problems after aortic arch surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 19 years old or older.
- You need to be scheduled for a surgery to replace part or all of your aortic arch, where the surgeon will stop blood flow to the brain or use a special method to keep the brain supplied with blood.
- You must not already have memory problems (a standard memory test score of 24 or higher).
- You must not have had a stroke or bleeding in the brain in the last 3 months.
- You must not have severe liver disease, kidney failure on dialysis, or a history of drug or alcohol abuse.

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.
This trial compares two types of general anesthesia to see which one keeps your blood pressure and heart rate more stable during surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm. The goal is to find a safer anesthesia option for this procedure.
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 trial compares two ways of giving the sedative remimazolam during brain bypass surgery. It looks at which method uses less medicine. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join.
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 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.
